Text entry based on differences in values

Copper Contributor

Hi

I am trying to automate some things in my finance class. I am doing a Differential Analysis and instead of typing text in manually (Manual Entry) I have been trying to use a formula (Automatic) but its not working out too well for me. If one of the Option values is higher or lower I need it to populate with Higher or Lower based on the values in a column.

 

I tried a few other things but the closest the formula I found was =IF(F28>H28, "Higher", "Lower") but it is not producing the correct results. Does anyone got a million-dollar answer?

Actually your formula returns the correct results because the "(" and ")" around a value indicate that it's negative.

 

(2,100,000.00) is lower than (1,480,000.00) because (2,100,000.00) is -2,100,000.00 and (1,480,000.00) is -1,480,000.00.

 

The "(" and ")" are a possibility to format negative numbers instead of "-".
