    Re: How to key a formula to compute the due date

    this assignment is very confusing to me. It said in cell F4, create an IF formula. The first logical test is that cell E4 be greater than 120 days. If this is so, the Value_if_true is Over 120. As the Value_if_false, nest another IF function. The logical test for the second IF function is that cell E4 be greater than 60. The Value_if_true for this IF statement is Over 60. the Value_if_false entry for the second IF statement is Acceptable. Right-align the results, and copy the formula.

    What's confusing, it basically tells you what to do!

    type =if(
    then press the small fx on the formula bar!

    read the boxes!

    Re: How to key a formula to compute the due date

    start by r-entering the times and putting a space between the time and the AM/PM!

    after that you can just subtract the start time from the end time

    =C5-B5

    if you need it as a decimal hours
    =(c5*b5)*24

    Re: How to key a formula to compute the due date

    Now go research, you wont get any more help with assignments!!!!!!

    Press f1 and use the help if all else fails, or go to some of the resource sites listed here with tutorials.

    You wont learn by getting other people to do your homework, and I assume if you have this assignment you have been shown the concepts in class or have reference material to aid you!

    Bear in mind your teachers also use these sites, and WILL be watching for their assignments here, as they also check wikkipedia cut and paste in other asignments!
