Excel if cell exceeds certain value use difference

Question

I can't come up with the right formula for this.

Cell B3 contains a value. In cell C3 is the formula which should calculate: if B3 exceeds 1500, i want it to display the difference. E.g. IF value of B3 is 1600, C3 should display 100.

Thanks, can't get my head around it.

Answer 1

If you want it to show the value of B3 when that value is less than or equal to 1500, and to show the difference if it is greater, use the following:

=IF(B3>1500,B3-1500,B3)

If you want it to show nothing if it is less than or equal to 1500, use:

=IF(B3>1500,B3-1500,"")

Answer 2

=if(B3>1600;B3-A3;"")

Honestly i didn't catch the other operand of the difference you describe, but that is the If formula..

hope it helps..

Answer 3

=IF(B3>1500;B3-A3;"") As you mentioned if value is greater than 1500 so the formula should be as above.
