Problem with Formula
Hey guys,
I've a wee problem with a formula as follows:
Looking for this result: BMI > 30 or WC > 40 (men), 35 (women)
So if column 'BMI’ >30 and / or column ‘Waist Cir’ >40 if column ‘Gender’ is ‘M’ or >35 if column ‘Gender’ is ‘F’ then the value = 1, otherwise = zero
The formula I'm using is: IF(AND(O3≥40, D3="M"), 1, 0)+IF(AND(O3≥35, D3="F"), 1, 0)+IF(N3≥30, 1, 0). This is mostly giving the right answer, however, I'm looking for an answer of either 1 or zero. This formula can give a 2. Example: BMI 35; WC 42, Gender M = 2.
I think the problem is that there is a '+' before the 3rd part, and think that's causing the addition, however if I put in a comma or AND or OR errors are showing.
Any ideas how I can correct it please?
Thanks in anticipation!
Gender | BMI | Waist Cir | Obesity RF |
F | 29 | 36 | 1 |
M | 35 | 42 | 2 |

Hi,
Please try this formula instead:
=IF(AND(O3>40, D3="M"), 1,IF(AND(O3>35, D3="F"), 1,IF(N3>30, 1, 0)))
This syntax is called (Nested IF).
I think that this is what you looking for!
