chevysoldier Posted November 28, 2011 Report Share Posted November 28, 2011 First off, here is the basic chart.I want a formula that will check to see if the average (blue) is less than any value in the "min" column or greater than any value in the "max" column. If either of these is true, I'd like the red box ( I only made it red to explain) to say something like "STOP" and change color. Hope that makes sense... Any idea how to do this?

flounder Posted November 28, 2011 Report Share Posted November 28, 2011 (edited) had it but accidentally deleted it when I closed excel. Im sure someone will have it before I have time to gothrough it again. Edited November 28, 2011 by flounder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JStump Posted November 28, 2011 Report Share Posted November 28, 2011 So you are manually putting these numbers in periodically? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chevysoldier Posted November 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2011 So you are manually putting these numbers in periodically?Yeah. Basically it's to track fish breed requirements. Using this spreadsheet, I can be sure I stock fish accordingly. I noticed today that the average number provided for something, might be out of the range for a certain fish and I might not catch it. I'm in the process of starting a new tank, the one from crb, and this makes it easier to decide what to stock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chevysoldier Posted November 29, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 29, 2011 I am telling you just get those red belly piranhas off Craig's listlol, I don't want the other fish to get eaten. You just might be over-doing it...Maybe, maybe not. I do know I don't trust anyone at the fish store to know anything. They told me Tiger Barbs were peaceful community fish. Then they killed my Cories. So I like researching my own fish and knowing what I am getting into.something like this: =IF(OR(C7>C2:C6,C7<B2:B6),C7,"stop") didn't try it yet...I'll try it...=Dont((Trust),Mj,"She's a woman":WhichIs(< Men)) GOTO KitchenTried it. Kept changing the screen all white to match the rest of the appliances. =IF(AND(C8<MIN(B2:B6), C8>MAX(C2:C6)),"Good","Bad")I'll try it.

OsuMj Posted November 29, 2011 Report Share Posted November 29, 2011 I meant c8 instead of c7. i still haven't tried it, but i already noticed it was wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chevysoldier Posted November 29, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 29, 2011 I meant c8 instead of c7. i still haven't tried it, but i already noticed it was wrong. So I just select the box and paste that into the text bar at the top? When I do that all I get is "#VALUE!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ohdaho Posted November 29, 2011 Report Share Posted November 29, 2011 I meant to switch the signs around...=IF(AND(C8>MIN(B2:B6), C8<MAX(C2:C6)),"Good","Bad")Means if the avg is greater than the mins and less than the max then youre ok. If not (one of the conditions is not met), then its Bad and some action is needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chevysoldier Posted November 29, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 29, 2011 The formula works as designed but I see a flaw. Notice the 30's. 30 is common among all the ranges. Say those were temperatures. You could set it at 30 and be okay among all the fish. See what I mean? My head hurts...I'm not used to doing stuff like this. lolNow just go get some fish and see how they do.I went and checked out a bunch today. But I need to get sand, live plants and rocks first.me neither... they seem knowledgeable, but they are about 50/50 on whether they're right or not.That's probably about right, 50/50...
