    Smile Formula Help with Pass/Fail function

    Hi all!

    1st post, so I hope I got it in the right section :D

    I'm having some problems getting my whole formula to be recognised by Excel.

    What I have got is:

    =IF(COUNT(E2),IF(SUM(E2)<=40.05,"Pass","Fail"),"enter data"

    basically, telling the sheet to put a Pass/Fail if it meets/doesn't meet this criteria.

    What I need to have also is a formula telling this formula that if it is a Pass under 10 seconds that it needs to say "Null" or "Invalid". I have tried entering this myself but it always shows up as 'my argument is too long'

    Is there a way of telling the formula to do this or would I need to dip inside VB Editor (not my greatest skill) in Excel for this?

    Any help greatly appreciated

    Give this a try:

    =IF(COUNT(E2),LOOKUP(E2,{0.01,10,40.06},{"Invalid","Pass","Fail"}))

    Or if the cell might really be blank:

    =LOOKUP(E2,{0,0.01,10,40.06},{"","Invalid","Pass","Fail"}))

    The second one takes into account a blank cell without an IF statement.

    Great. Which of the two formulas did you opt for?

    If that takes care of your need, be sure to EDIT your original post (Go Advanced) and mark the PREFIX box [SOLVED]
