Hi akin,

Well in your file on the mentioned cell you have formula something like =#N/a

Than the formula you posted below is in language which many of the forum user don't understand. Kindly, post those formulas in English.

Than, you name manager shows many named ref. or formula which all shows #REF error. If they are part of these formulas, than correct them and than post a file.

Regards,
 
Hi ,

I assume that the formula in the 3 cells you have mentioned would be on the same lines as the formulae in the other cells ; however , the formulae you have posted against the cell addresses are all partial formulae ; they are not complete.

I think what has happened is that someone has pressed F2 , F9 , so that the formulae in those cells have been replaced by their values ; the only way you can put back formulae in those cells is to have the full formulae.

Secondly , all the formulae in row 6 are referring to cells in row 5 ; I do not know why you have shown the formulae in the 3 cells referring to cells in row 50 ; is this correct ?

Lastly , there are too many IF functions used ; it would be better if you could set up a lookup table , and use either a VLOOKUP or LOOKUP or INDEX/MATCH to simplify the formula.

Sorry to send you wrong file.. The formulas will be like those :



for G6


=IF(X50=0;0;IF(X50<201;-1;IF(X50<501;-3;IF(X50<1001;-5;IF(X50<1501;-8;IF(X50<2001;-11;IF(X50<2501;-13;IF(X50<3001;-16;IF(X50<3501;-19;IF(X50<4001;-21;IF(X50<4501;-24;IF(X50<5001;-27;IF(X50<5501;-29;IF(X50<6001;-32;IF(X50<6501;-34;IF(X50<7001;-37;IF(X50<7501;-40;IF(X50<8001;-42;IF(X50<8501;-45;IF(X50<9001;-48;"N/A"))))))))))))))))))))



for AA6


=IF(AR50=0;0;IF(AR50<201;-1;IF(AR50<501;-2;IF(AR50<1001;-3;IF(AR50<1501;-5;IF(AR50<2001;-6;IF(AR50<2501;-8;IF(AR50<3001;-10;IF(AR50<3501;-11;IF(AR50<4001;-13;IF(AR50<4501;-15;IF(AR50<5001;-16;IF(AR50<5501;-18;IF(AR50<6001;-19;IF(AR50<6501;-21;IF(AR50<7001;-23;IF(AR50<7501;-24;IF(AR50<8001;-26;IF(AR50<8501;-28;IF(AR50<9001;-29;"N/A"))))))))))))))))))))



for BO6


=IF(CF50=0;0;IF(CF50<201;0;IF(CF50<501;1;IF(CF50<1001;1;IF(CF50<1501;2;IF(CF50<2001;3;IF(CF50<2501;3;IF(CF50<3001;4;IF(CF50<3501;5;IF(CF50<4001;5;IF(CF50<4501;6;IF(CF50<5001;6;IF(CF50<5501;7;IF(CF50<6001;8;IF(CF50<6501;8;IF(CF50<7001;9;IF(CF50<7501;10;IF(CF50<8001;10;IF(CF50<8501;11;IF(CF50<9001;12;"N/A"))))))))))))))))))))


Those formulas give #N/A

What is wrong with those?

Thanks..

Can you send me the file because when I write these formulas into related cells, it gives error and I can not save the file.
 
Hi,

There is no formula written where ever there is an #N/A error

In cel G6, AA6, etc.. there is no formula instead it is written as =#NA.

Check it out and write the correct formula
 
As I told before I am writing but it gives error and saves like this. It is written as #N/A


Please save the working formulas and please put the file here to let me see.

Thanks..
 
Formulas are wrong in your file.


I want to make below formulas..

You just copy the next cells's formulas, which is not correct.
Each one are different.

Only these 3 formulas are making errors in this sheet, other cells have no problem..

Hi,

One issue was the formula contains semi-colon instead of comma

Try to change it

But even after converting I am getting an error in 2003 but works fine in excel 2007
 
Open office has many different functions and formulas from Excel. Just copying OO into excel could lose many of the original workbook functions.


.
 
If I copy Q6 to G6, AA6 and BO6 they all work
Is that formula now correct ?
 
Q6 AND G6 have not got same formula.. If you copy it to G6, it also changes the formula for G6 which makes wrong data..

I tried to do that then change the formula back manually but it again gave error. :)
 
A few questions:

There is no relationship or link between G6 and Q6 so I don't understand your above statement "If you copy it to G6, it also changes the formula for G6 which makes wrong data"

Your formula posted above for G6: references Row 50 ? I am sure it should be 5

All the other Formulas in Row 6 link to the cell directly above them in Row 5, why shouldn't the other 3?

What version of Excel are you using ? Because Excel 95-03 don't support more than 7 levels of nested If's which your formulas have. You shuld use *.xlsx format.
 
@akinkaraman

See the file, your formulas contain more no. of allowed nested IF. If you try pressing F2 and press enter in the cell where you got value, Excel will not allow you to do that. Yellow cell has formula. I had created a helper table and used VLOOKUP function.

I will try to convert it to .xlsx format. It sounds sense.

I wrote the formulas there wrongly at that time. I think you didn't see my second file after that.

I am pasting it below again..

Hi Somendra, I checked up; vlookup seems to work normal at Quick Office with iPad.


I will make all cells like that due to your formula.. Thanks..

I'd guess it has to do with the nesting levels limit for IF. It was 6 or 7 levels in Excel 2003. And it has been made 64 starting from 2007. Nesting level numbers could be wrong as I have not checked.

Edit: Hui has already noted this! Sorry for unnecessary post.
