Need a formula

Please help

I need a formula for the following

PM =8 and N =8 this needs to be calculated then taken off the value of 70 

How do i do this?

  • Redhs01 There's a lot left to the imagination here, but one possibility could be:

     

    =value - SUM(COUNTIF(range, {"PM","N"})) * 8

     

    For example, if the value 70 is in cell A1 and the range to evaluate is B1:N1, the formula would be:

     

    =A1 - SUM(COUNTIF(B1:N1, {"PM","N"})) * 8

      Thank you but it doesn't add up correctly, it has the total as 70 when it should be 30 as there are 5 PM or N which being 8 each = 40. Sorry what am i doing wrong??

        Also if I take out the =A1- the total comes out at 0.....that isn't correct i would have thought it would come out at 40??
