    Multiply three columns, if result over a certain number then put a warning

    Hello,

    I hope I am posting this in the right spot. I am fairly new to advanced Excel functions.

    What I would like to do:

    I have a spreadsheet with thousands of records. There are numbers in every row, in columns E, F and G.

    I need Excel to, for every line, Multiply E x F x G. THEN, if the resulting product for that row is greater than say 1000, I want it to put the word "WARNING" in the currently empty J column for that row.

    The J column has nothing in it at all right now in any row, I wanted it to be a new column where the formula can put results of the product for each row, so that I can then filter the J column to show only rows with "WARNING" in them, and then I can deal with them accordingly.


    Thanks in advance for your help!

    Hi And welcome

    Something like this:

    =IF(E2*F2*G2>1000,"Warning","OK")

    Hi

    If we say that your data start in row 2 then try this an J2. Then copy down as you need.

    =IF((E2*F2)*G2>1000,"warning","ok")

    Assuming your data starts in A2, place this in J2 and copy down.

    =IF($E2*$F2*$G2>1000,"Warning","")
