Greater than and less than functions
I need a cell (J4) to calculate a range of cells (E4:E73) and show the result in cell (J4).
If the individual cells are greater than 1.5 it needs to add the value of leftover amount, also if the individual cells are less than 1.5 I need it to subtract 1.5
Thank you for any help you provide
- so did you try =SUM( range ) - COUNT( range)*1.5
or if you are really just interested in the Average then why not:
=AVERAGE( range )
or the difference from the target average:
= AVERAGE( range ) - 1.5

=SUM(IF(E4:E74>1.5,E4:E74-1.5,E4:E74-1.5))You can try this formula. Enter the formula with ctrl+shift+enter if you don't work with Office365 or 2021.
- That works. The only problem I have now is I cant get it to ignore the blanks. If I enter " ", there are to many arguments for the function
=SUM(IF(NOT(ISBLANK(E4:E18)),IF(E4:E18>1.5,E4:E18-1.5,E4:E18-1.5)))You can try this formula which seems to exclude blank cells in my sheet. Enter the formula with ctrl+shift+enter if you don't work with Office365 or 2021.
