    Auto fill in formula

    Hello, I am required to fill in a table with some measurements of parts that my firm manufactures. Each quality approved measurement has a tolerance:
    • If the measured number has no decimals (x), the tolerance is +/-0.8
    • If the measured number has one decimal (x.x), the tolerance is +/-0.46
    • If the measured number has two decimals (x.xx), the tolerance is +/-0.18
    What I have been trying to do is come up with an auto fill in formula for these tolerances(in tolerance+/tolerance- cells) depending on the quality approved measured number (from nominal number cell), but failed badly. Please help me, I have tons of parts with hundreds of measurements and I will lose my mind.

    Attach the file but in the mean time let me know if this helps...............=IF((A1)-TRUNC(A1)=0,"+/-0.8",IF((A1)-TRUNC(A1)<=0.1,"+/-0.46",IF((A1)-TRUNC(A1)>=0.11,"+/-0.18"," ")))

    I attached the file, your formula works perfectly, but it needs a little bit of tinkering, which I think I can manage by myself, meaning that I have to delete the +/- that you included as I have separate cells for each value, as you can see if you open the attachment. Thank you very much!

    Re: Auto fill in forumula

    Ok, i am sorry but I got overly excited and didn't check all the possibilities od decimals at first so here is the problem:
    • If i keep the statement as you wrote it
      =IF((G32)-TRUNC(G32)=0,"0.8",IF((G32)-TRUNC(G32)<=0.1,"0.46",IF((G32)-TRUNC(G32)<=0.11,"0.18"," ")))
      , and the number has only one decimal it still displays 0.18 tolerance.
    • When I changed it to
      =IF((G32)-TRUNC(G32)=0,"0.8",IF((G32)-TRUNC(G32)>=0.1,"0.46",IF((G32)-TRUNC(G32)<=0.11,"0.18"," ")))
      , it displays only 0.46.

    Re: Auto fill in forumula

    If I give a value with no decimal it is fine. If I give a value which has decimals between x.01 to x.1 it displays 0.46 tolerance which is shouldn't as I only want to display 0.46 tolerance to numbers with only one decimal(x.x). If I give x.11 value it displays 0.18 value and every value above x.11 doesn't display anything.(picture attached)

    , nop it doesn't even recognize it as a formula...

    Can you input some numbers in the file and attach it here so that I can work on that. If there are negative values then it wont work.

    sum(G32,-G34) instead G32-G34
