    Question Trying to Create a Discount

    Hi all, I am trying to figure out how to calculate something and would appreciate any help.

    I have a set of data, here is one for an example:
    Date Invoice Total Discount
    7/13/13 $ 11,790.00 1179

    if date (7/13/13) is greater than 8/31/13, I want the total discount column to calculate 10% of value in invoice column. Thanks!

    =if(dateValue > --"8/31/2013", 10%*invoiceValue, 0)
    Entia non sunt multiplicanda sine necessitate

    Thanks. How would I lock the date when I drag down?

    Lock what date? Isn't the date different (in general) for each invoice?

    It is giving out the output #NAME? so I am guessing I have to lock something?

    Replace dateValue with the cell where the invoice date appears, and invoiceValue with the cell where the invoice value appears.
