Using OR in a formula
I need a formula to give 3 different answers based on the value of one cell in a worksheet that could change.
J19 is the variable cell in my worksheet. The value of (J9-J20) may be a positive or negative number and then I need a value in J21 based on positive or negative. If positive, I need the sum. If negative, I need the cell to be 0.
If J20 is zero I need the value to be the sum of another cell J23
These are the 3 formulas that will give the correct answers but I need it to be an OR to each formula to get the correct answer in cell J25
J25
=IF(J20>J9,J9,J9-J20)+J22+J23+E18 works if the deductible is LARGE
=IF(J20>J9,J9,J9-J20)+J22+J23+E18 works if the deductible is smaller than the charges
=IF(j20=0,J23)+E18 works if the deductible is zero and there is a copay
Is this even possible to solve for?
Thank you,

Hi,
Thank you for sharing a sample document. Try using this on the estimated patient balance (J25 cell):
=IFS(J20>J9,J9+J22+J23+E18,J20<J9,J20+J22+J23+E18,J20=0,J23+E18)
Does this unique formulation calculate each scenario correctly independently on the case?

Hello,
Can you attach a sample file or a screenshot without sensitive data? It would be much easier to follow your explanation.
When you say: "If positive, I need the sum". The sum of which cells?
Also, what are the other cells in your formulation? (J22, E18...) =IF(J20>J9,J9,J9-J20)+J22+J23+E18
- Hi Martin,
Thank you for your response. I am attaching the link for the file for your review.

I hope this helps. I am trying to calculate the patient responsibility after insurance is applied, with deductible that is less than the Insurance charged amount, more than and with no deductible and only a copay.
