    Awesome video Sir! But I have an issue I just cannot figure out. I'm working on a Workbook where some of the numbers in it show up as red and negative (as planned), and they also show up as a negative number, as they theoretically should. BUT, my issue is I want them to appear as positive (as if I were adding weight in a bad way. How do I do that, is it just a matter of formatting or maybe even a logical test of some kind? again, thanks for the video and I hope to hear from you about my predicament.

    You have to put text in double quotes, like:
    =IF(J1>=620,"Unhealthy","Healthy")
    The video illustrates the concept of Double Quotes for text in the "In Balance" example.

    Hi, thanks for the video. I had an experience with an equal function where I got a FALSE answer even though they have the same number, like $ 152 and $152, when I build the function =A2=B2 (for example), they gave a FALSE result, do you know why, and how to solve the problem if the data set are large, thanks.

    @jodavis1950 3 года назад

    Thank you for your clear and understandable explanations. I used the Function Argument Box and I didn't have to manually type in the " and so on (hope this was ok). My understanding of the Logical Test was way off! Even the value_if_true, etc., had me confused. Not now! You helped me understand the purpose of the Logical Test and the IF Function. I now not only understand "how" to do a step, but also the "why" I should do it. This knowledge makes a world of difference when you know the "whys". I am a Subscriber!

  • @Fishfighter2000
    @Fishfighter2000 7 лет назад

    If I have an average function, in another workbook, and some of the data points are empty cells, how can I program excel to specify that parts of the average were returned as blanks?
    I have 10 tables with 5 criteria each and each criteria is referencing 10 questions, so if 1 question is blank I want my resultant averages to have some ideal condition, like being Bold or anything. I tried an OR statement in a conditional requirement but excel told me conditionals couldn't reference external workbooks.
    Any help is appreciated.

    Great video Mike! I have a specific excel question, I thought the "if" function of the "Cell" function could solve it but I was wrong. Maybe if I give you a description, you could point me in the right direction. I'm creating a stock trading spreadsheet with one column labeled "Long or Short". If I bought a stock, I went "Long" and will input a "L" into the cell below the heading. If I shorted a stock, I will input an "S" into the cell below the heading. In another column, I have a heading labeled "Profit". This is the cell where my equation is wrong. I want create a formula that states: if the trade was an "L", then subtract the sell price from the purchase price. And if the trade was an "S", subtract the purchase price from the sell price (the opposite from the "L" equation). But I'm having difficulty. Are you able to give me any guidance on what kind of formula I'm looking for? Thanks again for your time and help Mike. I'm subscribed and will keep watching! Cheers, Keiron. :)

    Does anyone know why the "Your Bonus" formula wouldn't work in OpenOffice Calc? I typed the EXACT same thing in my b6, and b7 cells (3:54). B6 says "TRUE" as expected, but b7 returns "err:508" instead of either $500, or $0.00. I realize these are two different programs, but OpenOffice software pretty closely matches Microsoft Office.
