I have created a spreadsheet to calculate net donations for a newly created charitable cause. We have received donations via cash, checks, and through Facebook and PayPal. While donations through FB come to us in full, PayPal charges 2.2% + .30 per transaction, so the calculation of net proceeds from PayPal is =C5-(C5*0.022)-0.3 .
In the column next to the “Net Donation” column I want to insert an if/then formula that’s conditioned on making the appropriate deductions IF the source of the funds is PayPal. I’ve tried creating what to me seems like a sensible syntax for the formula but the spreadsheet doesn’t even know it’s supposed to be a formula.
Is there a way to put such a formula in the “I” column based on the source designated in the “H” column? I’ve attached a screen clipping. If it is possible, would you mind writing that formula for me? I don’t use Excel very often and have never before needed to create a conditional formula.
I've tried to attach a screen clipping but can't seem to do that. so here are the column headings pasted as text:
-----A----------------B------------C----------D----------E---------------F--------------G-----------H------------I
Donated by Address Amount Contact Blank Total collected: $$$$ Source Net Donation
F And G aren't really columns. F is a label for G, which is just a tally of everything in Column I
Getting those columns to format correctly seems to be impossible even with supposedly monospaced fonts, so I'll just hope it's obvious from what I've printed here.
