    Request help in correcting IF Statement which should not return negative value

    Dear Experts

    Ref to attached sheet

    1. The formulas in columns AD, AE and AF are supposed to work in such a way that column AG does not result in negative value.

    2. However, if we notice column AG it is resulting in negative.

    3.But, if I update Column Y with sum(S:X) it is not resulting in negative and working correctly. Some minor mistake in formulas in AD, AE and AF which I am unable to find out.

    Request to please help

    Re: Request help in correcting IF Statement which should not return negative value

    Depending on what you really want, which isn't completely clear:

    =ABS(ROUND(SUM(S2:X2)-SUM(Y2:AF2),0))

    or:

    =MAX(0,(ROUND(SUM(S2:X2)-SUM(Y2:AF2),0)))

    Re: Request help in correcting IF Statement which should not return negative value

    HI,

    Columns AD, AE and AF are formula fields which has calculation. This calculation should display results based on SUM(S:X) - SUM(Y........ONE CELL BEFORE CALCULATION FIELD)

    Example: Column AD. If the Calculated field has value say 200 then if SUM(S:X) - Sum(Y-AC) is >=200 only then Colmun AD should display 200 else 0

    Similarly say if Column AE has value of 1800 (this is also by formula) then if SUM(S:X) - Sum(Y-AD) is >=1800 only then Colmun AE should display 200 else 0

    Similary for AF

    For this, I need to modify existing forumla from AD to AF. There is some minor error because it works in certain cases and not in other case

    Re: Request help in correcting IF Statement which should not return negative value

    In order to help us, please provide a workbook that shows what you want. Add an extra column and enter (manually) the results you wish to see.

    Please don't open any further threads on this issue - each thread you open is just a slight tweak on the previous request, and you will keep having to explain yourself over and over if you do this. ALL further issues with the formula in this workbook need to be addressed here in this thread, please.

    Re: Request help in correcting IF Statement which should not return negative value

    Ok. I do understand. Now I wrote a formula like this

    =IF((AND(SUM(S2:X2)<=15000, SUM(S2:X2)-SUM(Y2:AD2)>=SUM(S2:X2)*12%)), SUM(S2:X2)*12%, 0). This works the way i need it to. Now let us see this formula =IF((AND(SUM(S2:X2)>15000, SUM(S2:X2)-SUM(Y2:AD2)>=15000*12%)), 15000*12%, 0). Now I need to combine these two formula into one to make it work on both the conditions which ever is met subject to IF(INDEX(EmployeeMaster!O:O,MATCH(H2,EmployeeMaster!A:A,0))="Y",

    Re: Request help in correcting IF Statement which should not return negative value

    I resolved. This is the correct formula


    =IF(INDEX(EmployeeMaster!O:O,MATCH(H6,EmployeeMaster!A:A,0))="Y",IF((AND(SUM(S6:X6)<=15000,
    SUM(S6:X6)-SUM(Y6:AD6)>=SUM(S6:X6)*12%)), SUM(S6:X6)*12%,IF((AND(SUM(S6:X6)>15000, SUM(S6:X6)-SUM(Y6:AD6)>=15000*12%)), 15000*12%,0)))

    Re: Request help in correcting IF Statement which should not return negative value

    Finally, ref to worksheet attached, below are formulas which is working correctly for the benefit of other forum users.


    AD2 = IF(AND(SUM(S2:X2)>=Parameters!$B$9,SUM(S2:X2)-SUM(Y2:AC2)>=Parameters!$B$10),Parameters!$B$10,0)

    AE2 = =IF(INDEX(EmployeeMaster!O:O,MATCH(H2,EmployeeMaster!A:A,0))="Y",IF((AND(SUM(S2:X2)<=Parameters!$B$5,
    SUM(S2:X2)-SUM(Y2:AD2)>=SUM(S2:X2)*Parameters!$B$6%)), SUM(S2:X2)*Parameters!$B$6%,IF((AND(SUM(S2:X2)>Parameters!$B$5, SUM(S2:X2)-SUM(Y2:AD2)>=Parameters!$B$5*Parameters!$B$6%)), Parameters!$B$5*Parameters!$B$6%,0)))

    AF2 = IF((AND(SUM(S2:X2)<=Parameters!$B$7, SUM(S2:X2)-SUM(Y2:AE2)>=SUM(S2:X2)*Parameters!$B$8%)), SUM(S2:X2)*Parameters!$B$8%, 0)

    Re: Request help in correcting IF Statement which should not return negative value

    I still have an error.

    =IF(INDEX(EmployeeMaster!O:O,MATCH(H2,EmployeeMaster!A:A,0))="Y",IF((AND(SUM(S2:X2)<=Parameters!$B$5,
    SUM(S2:X2)-SUM(Y2:AD2)>=SUM(S2:X2)*Parameters!$B$6%)), SUM(S2:X2)*Parameters!$B$6%,IF((AND(SUM(S2:X2)>Parameters!$B$5, SUM(S2:X2)-SUM(Y2:AD2)>=Parameters!$B$5*Parameters!$B$6%)), Parameters!$B$5*Parameters!$B$6%,0)))

    If EmployeeMaster!O:O,MATCH(H2,EmployeeMaster!A:A,0))="Y". If this is "N" it is displaying at FALSE instead of 0

    Re: Request help in correcting IF Statement which should not return negative value

    For AE

    AE==IF(INDEX(EmployeeMaster!O:O,MATCH(H2,EmployeeMaster!A:A,0))="Y",IF((AND(SUM(S2:X2)<=Parameters!$B$5,
    SUM(S2:X2)-SUM(Y2:AD2)>=SUM(S2:X2)*Parameters!$B$6%)), SUM(S2:X2)*Parameters!$B$6%,IF((AND(SUM(S2:X2)>Parameters!$B$5, SUM(S2:X2)-SUM(Y2:AD2)>=Parameters!$B$5*Parameters!$B$6%)), Parameters!$B$5*Parameters!$B$6%,0)),0)
