    Question New User needs help with formulas!

    Morning people.

    As usual I have been told I need to do somehting ASAP so I turn to you all for help.

    I have the following two formulas that work seperately:
    =IF(Q4="n/a","n/a",(Q4/1000*2)*40)

    =CEILING(Q29,10)

    How do I put them in one formula?
    I know this will be annoying for some people but I can't get them together.

    I thought it would work:

    =IF(Q4="n/a","n/a",(Q4/1000*2)*40) (CEILING(Q29,10))

    But it doesn't...

    Any help would be appreciated as I only have 2 hours to do this (got to love management!)

    Thanks in Advance

    Not sure what you are trying to do here.
    The first cell is an if statement that has arguments for true and false. for cell Q4, the other reffers to a ceiling to another cell...

    what is it that you want to do exactly? (more than just put them together)

    In which case:

    =IF(Q4="n/a","n/a",(Q4/1000*2)*40) & " " & (CEILING(Q29,10))
    If you found the solution to your question. Mark the thread as "Solved"
    Thank everyone that helped you with a valid solution by clicking on their

    There is no such thing as a problem, only a temporary lack of a solution

    Sorry for the severe lack of information.

    I am trying to get informaiton from one cell, if it's n/a then it is to come up n/a, but if it is a figure it needs to be /1000*2)*40 and then rounded up to the nearest 10. (ie: (CEILING(Q29,10))

    I have no idea. Both work perfectly seperately but when I put htem together it comes up with a 'circular error thingie' (love my technical lanuage!)

    Try:

    =if(Q29="n/a","n/a",ceiling(((Q29/1000*2)*40),10))

    You are a fantastic human being!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Thank yo soooooooooooooooooo much! That worked well...

    I guessing it reads that if this do this and if this do the ceiling function on the result of the maths in the second set of parenthesis...

    I wish you were in Australia and I'd send you beer!

    Thanks again!!!!
