Hello, I need to make several @ if Statements within one cell.
=IF(SUM(R5:S5)>6,6,SUM(R5:S5)+IF(O5<80,3,SUM(R5:S5)))
This is the formula I have come up with, but it's not working. Are you able to figure out what I've done wrong?
It should say, if the sum is > 6 then 6 if not then the sum of r5&s5 also if o5 is less than 80 then 3 if not then the sum of r5 and s5
Are you able to helP?

What I'm actually confused at is the part of this one: IF(O5<80,3,SUM(R5:S5))
Excelchat Expert

Do you want to add the output value of this to the output value of =IF(SUM(R5:S5)>6,6,SUM(R5:S5))?

It's for leaves taken, if they have 80 sick days they can carryover their personal days up to 3 if not they only get 3 new sick days not the carry over
Excelchat Expert

Oh I see.
User

I don't want to add the output value, I want it to check to see if they have less than 80 sick days
User
20/07/2018 - 07:09
if they don't, then i want it to be just the 3 new personal days given

Okay, let me try to reconfigure your formula to return the correct computation. We can then check if it was configured correctly. :)

Oh sorry, it seems the chatbox distorted the format of the values you've pasted. Will it be okay if you paste them over to the document preview to the right? Thanks!

t5 is f22 now
Excelchat Expert
20/07/2018 - 07:16
Is 7 the supposed value on F22 if we are to manually compute for it? :)
User
20/07/2018 - 07:16
No, it should be 3 because they have less than 80 sick days
User
20/07/2018 - 07:17
f21 should be 6, f19 should be 6
Excelchat Expert

Oh I see. I get now. Thanks so much for patiently clarifying this. Let me work on it and update you the soonest!
Excelchat Expert

Already done! Please refer to cell F22 for the corrected formula. I as well verified this with F19 and F21 cells.

If we are to edit your original formula posted, it should look like this:

=IF(05<80,3,IF(SUM(R5:S5)>6,6,SUM(R5:S5)))
Excelchat Expert
20/07/2018 - 07:19
=IF(O5<80,3,IF(SUM(R5:S5)>6,6,SUM(R5:S5)))

Yay!! You are wonderful. Thanks SO much!!

Basically, before anything else, it would first check on cell O5 prior to checking the SUM(R5:S5).
