    Ideal Body Weight (IBW) Equations w/ Gender and Height Modifiers

    Hi all,
    Trying to write one equation that satisfies all of 4 scenarios below and am not having any luck (Column D has (male/female), Column F has (height)):

    If Female and Height >/= to 60, IBW = ((Height - 60)*2.3) + 45.5
    If Female and Height <60, IBW = 45.5-((60-Height)*0.76))
    If Male and Height >/= to 60, IBW = ((Height - 60)*2.3) + 50
    If Male and Height <60, IBW = 50-((60-Height)*0.83))

    Greatly appreciate any help.

    Try

    =IF(D2="F",IF(F2>=60,(F2-60)*2.3+45.5,45.5-(60-F2)*0.76),IF(F2>=60,(F2-60)*2.3+50,50-(60-F2)*0.83))

    Hello,

    how about

    =IF(D2="female",IF(F2>=60,((F2-60)*2.3)+45.5,45.5-((60-F2)*0.76)),IF(F2>=60,((F2-60)*2.3)+50,50-((60-F2)*0.83)))

    cheers, teylyn

    ... case you missed it, I corrected the formula (my typo!!)

    H2 should be F2 !!!!

    This is my attempt at it, it appears to be correct...
    =IF(AND(A2="female",B2>=60),((B2-60)*2.3+45.5),IF(AND(B2="female",B2<60),((45.5-(60-B2)*0.76)),IF(AND(A2="male",B2>=60),((B2-60)*2.3+50),50-(60-B2)*0.83)))
    and I'm only guessing at where your values are.

    try:
    Formula: copy to clipboard

    it will not show any result if D or F is empty. The rest is like above in Tony's and teylyn's posts.
