1. is the number i have.
2. is how i'm getting that number.
how do i make 1. divide by 2 if it's supposed to be split?

nevermind thought you mean divide by the number 2
just make some extra columns and if, then that shite

Just nest another if.
ETA: Same assumption as CE
Or is that what you mean? Divide by the number 2?

i want it to divide by 2 as in split the cost in half.
eta: i've tried typing out different ways to get the formula to work, but it keeps giving me errors. what's is the formula?

(if j2="yes",(I2/2),(I2))
Posted on 2/6/15 at 5:37 pm to finchmeister08
=if(G2>0, if(J2="Yes",(D2+E2+G2)/2,(D2+E2+G2)),if(J2="Yes",(D2+E2+F2)/2,(D2+E2+F2))

Agreed. Personally, I would use an IF(AND... to make that equation simpler.

I don't see how AND is going to help you.
What you could do is just divide the original formula by:
IF(J2 = "yes", 2, 1)
This avoids the duplication of the (arbitrarily complex) true/false arguments as shown earlier but still lets you do it all in one formula. So the whole thing would be:
=IF(G2 > 0, D2 + E2 + G2, D2 + E2 + F2) / IF(J2 = "yes", 2, 1)
Better still?
=(D2 + E2 + IF(G2 > 0, G2, F2)) / IF(J2 = "yes", 2, 1)

One of the easier excel questions on TD. Normally it's some complex offset/match function that people ask about.
Yeah, the tricky part is nesting the IF statements and getting the parenthesis right. You can get cross-eyed trying to get that code just right.

This. Was coming in to say you can embed the IF statements into the formula to eliminate as much nesting.

Very nice. Yes, doe not look like AND helps like I thought it may. I was thinking of how you could do a combo of IF(AND(G2>0, J2="YES")... but I do not think it simplifies anything.
