Question

I’m stuck with the following problem:

I’ve got a spreadsheet where I want to replace a value of a cell B1 with the value of a cell B2 underneath if a corresponding cell A1 (value lower than 30) if followed by a cell A2 with a value lower than 80.

I guess it should have a form of:

if A<30 and A+1<80
then copy B+1 to B

Here’s an example of the original list:

A       B  
9   31.395020  
60  33.167969  
81  40.399902  
5   41.425293  
60  44.031738  
81  49.647949  
6   50.671875  
81  58.111816  

That’s what I want to get:

A       B  
9   33.167969   
60  33.167969  
81  40.399902  
5   44.031738  
60  44.031738  
81  49.647949  
6   50.671875  
81  58.111816  

Can I use an if-statement or do I need a macro for that?

Answer 1

This is the simple formula you asked for:

=IF(AND(A3<80,A2<30),B3,B2)

Although I would be curious what practical purpose you would need this for. Good Luck.
