Because I use Excel 365, what I would actually do is name column A to be 'date' and the 3 columns of "Yes/No"s to be something like 'status'.
= IF(BYROW(status = "Yes", ORλ), date+14, "") where ORλ = LAMBDA(x, OR(x))That might look somewhat less familiar though!
Note: the names I use are applied to occupied data cells, not entire columns.
Thanks go to HansVogelaar
- How would I work this for multiple options. EG if Yes its +14 but if its no its +7
Clearly as your requirements get more complex the solutions will need to be reworked to capture the intent of the formula. At the moment, a simple modification will suffice. I have converted the input to a Table so that it grows with new data. The result is a separate dynamic array which will grow along with the Table.
A basic solution might be
= IF((ColumnB = "Yes") * (ColumnC = "Yes") * (ColumnD = "Yes"), ColumnA + 14, "")PeterBartholomew1 Hi Pete.
Looking at this little closer. I only need 1 Column to say yes. so what would that formula be? I've attempted to amend but I'm getting a spill error
Change the formula to
= IF((ColumnB = "Yes") + (ColumnC = "Yes") + (ColumnD = "Yes"), ColumnA + 14, "")Replace ColumnA, ColumnB etc. with the ranges that you use.
Alternatively, enter the following formula in for example E2, then fill down:
= IF(OR(B2:D2 = "Yes"), A2 + 14, "")
