Excelchat Expert
20/06/2018 - 03:50
ok, then I will explain you how to do this
Excelchat Expert
20/06/2018 - 03:50
there is a function called "IF" its a conditional that gives u a result, depending of a logical comparison
User
20/06/2018 - 03:51
Yes! I was on the right track I just couldn't work out how to use it!
Excelchat Expert
20/06/2018 - 03:51
for example, IF membership is bronze, give me 2
Excelchat Expert
20/06/2018 - 03:51
look how I do it
User
20/06/2018 - 03:52
Ok
Excelchat Expert
20/06/2018 - 03:53
so look at ther formula
User
20/06/2018 - 03:53
This is great. Thank you
Excelchat Expert
20/06/2018 - 03:53
Let me explain exactly what I did
Excelchat Expert
20/06/2018 - 03:53
I concatenated 3 IFs
Excelchat Expert
20/06/2018 - 03:54
the variables of the IF function are (Logical test, value if yes, value if no)
Excelchat Expert
20/06/2018 - 03:55
so what I did was, If bronze then give me 2, if silver give me 4 and if gold, give me 6, adn if nothing give me "empty"
Excelchat Expert
20/06/2018 - 03:56
if you see at the enf of the formula there is a ""
Excelchat Expert
20/06/2018 - 03:56
that means that if column D there is nothing, the it gives you empty
Excelchat Expert
20/06/2018 - 03:56
so, let's try the result
User
20/06/2018 - 03:57

User
20/06/2018 - 03:57
Do you just carry them on?
Excelchat Expert
20/06/2018 - 03:57
in that case, you have to apply a ni IF there is the ""
Excelchat Expert
