    Use Percentage otherwise a fixed amount... IF

    Hello everyone,

    This is driving me nuts so can someone help, please? lol

    This is what I'm trying to achieve as a function in a cell, which has a (£) figure being calculated into it.

    3% of purchase or 4K whichever is greater

    So, for example...

    The figure can never go below £4K, but if the [cell containing purchase price] works out to be more than 4K based on 3% of [cell containing purchase price] use the 3% figure it will be greater than 4K.

    This doesn't work =MIN(A2*3%,4000)

    Hope I explained that correctly lol

    Many thanks in advance from a newbie

    Use MAX instead of MIN - you want the greater of the two values.

    Hope this helps.

    Re: Use Percentage otherwise a fixed amount... IF

    =MAX(B2*0.03,4000)
    NOT Min
    also you are multiplying by 1.03 - so thats increasing the amount by 3% not working out the 3% part

    is that what you are after, or have I misunderstood

    You can then Add the Revenue number

    B2+MAX(B2*0.03,4000)
