Question

Here is what I would like to solve.

A1: 200
B1: YES
C1: 10
D1: NO
E1: 20
F1: YES
G1: 30

I would like to make a calculation that would allow me to substract the number each time the condition is YES.

So in this example, it would be 200-10-30. However, as there are 8 conditions, I would need seven IF to do it. I was wondering if there was any other solution to do it.

So far I have a solution but that makes me create 3 news columns. I write IF(B1=”YES,200-C1;200). And then I do the same on next 2 columns using each time the result from the previous column.

Thank you very much for your time

Answer 1

you might try

=A1-(SUMIF(B1:G1,"YES",C1))

setting C1 defines the first cell of the summed range and the formula can also be entered as

=A1-(SUMIF(B1:G1,"YES",C1:G1))
