Hey Guys 

 

Hope all are well. I need to formula and I'm having trouble. 

 

So if A is a date. If B,C,D say yes I want to add 2 weeks on from A into E. If that makes. 

 

thanks in advance.

A basic solution might be

= IF((ColumnB = "Yes") * (ColumnC = "Yes") * (ColumnD = "Yes"), ColumnA + 14, "")

@Peter Bartholomew 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

@Jamesb1982 

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, "")

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.

How would I work this for multiple options. EG if Yes its +14 but if its no its +7

@Jamesb1982 

For example

=ColumnA + IF((ColumnB = "Yes") + (ColumnC = "Yes") + (ColumnD = "Yes"), 14, 7)

or

=A2 + IF(OR(B2:D2="Yes"), 14, 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.
