    What If statements - can you have a 3rd option??

    Hi

    I have a 'what if' statement which gives a results as Met or Missed but can I have this as Exceeded also.

    =IF(C13>=B13,"MET","MISSED") is the current formula

    I need to include if a staffs target of 8 is exceeded but 20% then CELL reads EXCEEDED?

    Is this possible??

    I hope that I am wording this some way that someone can understand.

    Thanx

    =IF(C13>=B13+B13/5,"Exceeded",IF(C13>=B13,"MET","MISSED"))

    With nested IF's, many things are possible.

    Format->Conditional Formatting

    Custom Formula, =C13<B13, desired format (Red)
    Add
    Custom Formula, =C13>=B13+B13/5, Desired Format (Blue)
    Add
    Custom Formula, =C13>=B13, Desired Format (Green)
