Long formula and #VALUE error

[VisionSmart]

Hi

Can anyone assist with a way to shorten the below formula and stop the #VALUE! error

=IF(S59>=X59,$Z$22,IF(S59>=(X59*AD22),$Z$20,IF(S59<=(X59*AD20),$Z$19))),IF(S59>=W59,$Z$22,IF(S59>=(W59*AD22),$Z$20,IF(S59<=(W59*AD20),$Z$19))),IF(S59>=V59,$Z$22,IF(S59>=(V59*AD22),$Z$20,IF(S59<=(V59*AD20),$Z$19))),IF(S59>=U59,$Z$22,IF(S59>=(U59*AD22),$Z$20,IF(S59<=(U59*AD20),$Z$19)))

Thankyou

Well... the formula is broken. So without knowuing what you EXPECT it to do.... it's more difficult to fix it.

Please explain what you WANT it to do and...

Will you please attach a SMALL sample Excel workbook (10-20 rows of data is usually enough)? However, please give us an indication of the approximate number of rows of data you want the solution to work with (100, 1000, 100,000 or whatever). Please don't attach a picture of an Excel sheet (no-one will want to re-type all your stuff before starting).

1. Make sure that your sample data are truly REPRESENTATIVE of your real data. The use of unrepresentative data is very frustrating and can lead to long delays in reaching a solution.

2. Make sure that your desired solution is also shown (mock up the results manually).

3. Make sure that all confidential information is removed first!!

4. Try to avoid using merged cells. They cause lots of problems!

Unfortunately the attachment icon doesn't work at the moment. So, to attach an Excel file you have to do the following: Just before posting, scroll down to Go Advanced and then scroll down to Manage Attachments. Now follow the instructions at the top of that screen.

Try:

=IF(S59>=X59,$Z$22,IF(S59>=X59*AD22,$Z$20,IF(S59<=X59*AD20,$Z$19,IF(S59>=W59,$Z$22,IF(S59>=W59*AD22,$Z$20,
IF(S59<=W59*AD20,$Z$19,IF(S59>=V59,$Z$22,IF(S59>=V59*AD22,$Z$20,IF(S59<=V59*AD20,$Z$19,IF(S59>=U59,$Z$22,
IF(S59>=U59*AD22,$Z$20,IF(S59<=(U59*AD20),$Z$19))))))))))))

Thankyou Phucam.
The #Value! error is gone, but the calcs don't work. Would iFS work here? If so, how please?

[Glenn Kennedy]

So to repeat my Q. What do you EXPECT the formula to do???????

[Glenn Kennedy]

Your formula is not structured correctly, so it can't work!!

=IF(S59>=X59,$Z$22,IF(S59>=(X59*AD22),$Z$20,IF(S59<=(X59*AD20),$Z$19))),

IF(S59>=W59,$Z$22,IF(S59>=(W59*AD22),$Z$20,IF(S59<=(W59*AD20),$Z$19))),

IF(S59>=V59,$Z$22,IF(S59>=(V59*AD22),$Z$20,IF(S59<=(V59*AD20),$Z$19))),

IF(S59>=U59,$Z$22,IF(S59>=(U59*AD22),$Z$20,IF(S59<=(U59*AD20),$Z$19)))

The values in U, V, W & x59 do NOT influence the outcome: in every case the output is Z19, Z20 or z22. So EXPLAIN what you want it to do... 'cos it isn't doing what you think it's doing!!

The attached is hopefully designed to rate KPIs based on the levels of Accreditations

Hoping for one formula which will cater for all levels.

[Glenn Kennedy]

So what is your expected answer : one assessment (in which case how does Excel know if you want assessment of L1 or L2 or whatever??) or 4 assessments, one each (in which case how should this be presented).

What is the expected answer for 100?

[VisionSmart]

I can now see why more questions as I have not explained this one very well.
My expected answer is explained in the new attached WorkBook
Has a ReadMe Tab - hopefully enough to assist please.

One way:

deivers the correct result. Next the CF...

[Glenn Kennedy]

Now complete with the desired CF....

Hopefully you see the value of an explanation, rather than a non-working formula!!

[VisionSmart]

Fantastic solution thankyou Glen.
I would never have achieved that formula.

FYI – attached is small changes in File Rev 1C with explanation.

[Glenn Kennedy]

Ah yes... I did get them the wrong way round!!! Glad to have got there in the end!!
