Stumped on an IF formula

✭✭
edited 09/26/22 in Formulas and Functions

I have data in the following fields:

Target Sales:

Last Week's Sales:

I currently have a formula that tells me if Last Week's Sales are less than Target Sales, then return "Yes" or "No"

I need to update the formula to tell me if Last Week's Sales are less than Target Sales, are Last Week's Sales below more than 5% of the Target Sales?

EX: if Last Week's Sales is 91% and my Target Sales is 95%, I want the formula to return "No"

Please advise. Thank you in advance!

    Hi @ss1992

    I hope you're well and safe!

    Try something like this.

    =IF([Last Week's Sales]@row = "", "", IF([Last Week's Sales]@row / [Target Sales]@row < 0.95, "Yes", "No"))

    Did that work/help?

    I hope that helps!

    Be safe, and have a fantastic week!
