So here is my issue. My students have to earn 100 service points this year. They can only earn 20 of those points from donations. I need a formula to total the donation points but not allow the total cell to go above 20. Help! I had this done once before but somewhere it got lost or altered by those using my sheet. Can you please help! I need this within the next six hours and I am hoping someone can solve this.![]()
Hello and welcome to the forum.
It'd be something like =MIN(20, SUM(A2:H2))
So, if the sum of those cells is less than 20, you get the sum of the cells. If it's greater than 20, you'll get 20 ... of course, if they're equal, it doesn't matter, you get 20.

or another approach
=IF(SUM(range of donation)>20,20,SUM(range of donation))
but prefer using "min function"
shorter & simple
