You might have to change around the cell references depending on how your file is set up.. I could make the formula directly on your file if that is better for you?

One other question - what do you want the formula to output if the recieved qty is NOT + or - 20%?
Excelchat Expert

a blank?
User

if it is lower than -20% it needs to "No" higher "approve"
User
23/07/2018 - 03:25
anywhere inbetween 2Yes"
User
23/07/2018 - 03:25
"Yes"
Excelchat Expert
23/07/2018 - 03:26
So like this: < -20% = NO
Excelchat Expert
23/07/2018 - 03:26
> 20% = Approve
Excelchat Expert
23/07/2018 - 03:26
and between -20% and 20% = "Yes"
User

Excelchat Expert
23/07/2018 - 03:30
=if(C3<(B3*0.8),"No",if(C3>(B3*1.2),"Approve","Yes"))
Excelchat Expert

Let me know if it works on your file! Remember you might have to change the C3 and B3 to whatever your file has set up for those qty ordered and qty recieved cells.
