Conditional Math Difference

Stephany Gonzales

Great Morning, I would like to create a condition to apply a basic math difference to identify savings in a project. Ex: Original Budget minus (if there is a value on the estimate column only, and not actual expenses yet, deduct the estimate amount BUT if the actual expense column has a value different than $0, use this column instead of the estimate column). in other words to replace the information once the actual expenses column is filled out; in the meantime, use the estimate column to provide preliminary savings. I hope I made myself clear (screenshot attached)

REVISED BUDGET - EITHER REQUISITIONS OR ACTUAL EXPENSES COLUMN (whichever has a value different than $0).

Hello @Paul Newcome , it does not work. I used your sample to create it like this but it is not working

properly neither: =IF([ACTUAL EXPENSES]@row <> "$0.00", [INT. - FY 22 REVISED BUDGET]@row - [ACTUAL EXPENSES]@row, [INT. - FY 22 REVISED BUDGET]@row - [FY22 REQUISITIONS]@row)

I was expecting (on the green cell) the difference of $4,231.30.

Thank you for your assistance Paul :)

Hi @Stephany Gonzales

I hope you're well and safe!

Try something like this.

=
IF([ACTUAL EXPENSES]@row <> 0, 
[INT. - FY 22 REVISED BUDGET]@row - [ACTUAL EXPENSES]@row, 
[INT. - FY 22 REVISED BUDGET]@row - [FY22 REQUISITIONS]@row

Did that work/help?

I hope that helps!

Be safe and have a fantastic week!
