 Hi Danny,

May you please send me a screenshot of the spreadsheet?

Where do you want to add the formula?

Who will use the spreadsheet? Is it going to be sent out to several users?

That is all for now. These questions will help me to better understand your requirement.

Kind regards,

Julius

Here's an example of what I would like to happen if possible...

  1. When cell N23 reaches a specific number in this case 92 (I must be able to choose the number I want) an automated response is triggered which includes the following:
    1. Cell ND25 is set to 0 (Or a number I choose).
    2. A formula of my choice is added to cells ND30, ND31, ND32.
  2. I'd like a formula for the above which I can copy and paste into the entire row of 23.

There are several ways of solving your problem.

One way is to add these formulas :

On Cell ND25

                    =if(N23>91,0,"")

On Cells ND30, ND31, ND32

                   =if(N23>91,***Enter your formula here without the equal sign***. "")

 you can just replace the "" with the values that you want be on cells if the N23 is less than 92.

 

Another way to tackle it is  to use "custom functions" and/or "Macros". This requires coding and you have to enable Macros on Excel. Also, for me to apply this solution I will have to get a copy of your worksheet (you can input dummy figures), I just need to see which cells/formulas are going to be affected.

Thank you for your information but it doesn't quite work out. But we're getting there.

The formula must be when cell NC23 reaches a specifc number (my example was 92 but it maybe different) cell ND25 is automatically changed to 0. Whats the formula for cell ND25 to automatically change to 0 without adding a specific number but the value of cell NC23?

How does this change the formulas for cells ND30, ND31, ND32?

Are you saying I can I add the following formuals to the formula script you sent because it doesn't work...

=if(N23>91,***Enter your formula here without the equals sign***. "")

SUM(ND23)

SUM(ND30/1.5)

SUM(NC32:B2)+ND31
