Excel Spreadsheet Formula
 

Just started using Excel 2003, used to use Lotus. Can anyone tell me how to
input a formula for this.
Three cells C1, D1, E1, each cell has a value.
Three other cells K1, L1, M1, each with values.
Another cell to test the condition as follows:
If K1<C1 and L1<D1 and M1<E1, put YES into the last cell. If any of the
conditions are false, put NO into the last cell.
Appreciate any help.
TIA

=IF(K1<C1,IF(L1<D1,IF(M1<E1,"YES"),"NO"),"NO")

For my own part, I have never had a thought which I could not set down
in words with even more distinctness than that with which I conceived
it. There is, however, a class of fancies of exquisite delicacy which
are not thoughts, and to which as yet I have found it absolutely
impossible to adapt to language. These fancies arise in the soul, alas
how rarely. Only at epochs of most intense tranquillity, when the
bodily and mental health are in perfection. And at those weird points
of time, where the confines of the waking world blend with the world of
dreams. And so I captured this fancy, where all that we see, or seem,
is but a dream within a dream.

IIRC same as Supercalc and Lotus , although it's been a while.

cell for the answer

=IF(test1,result1true,result1false)

expand this out to

=IF(test1,IF(test2,IF(test3,result3true,result3fal se),result2false),result1false)

You simply nest a further test, where you need it.

It works fine for up to 6 then it's tricky to keep things straight.

Thanks for that, now what if the expression was OR instead of AND.
If K1<C1 or L1<D1 or M1<E1, put YES into the last cell. If any of the
conditions are false, put NO into the last cell.
TIA

Sorry, only the first joint is free. ;)

(Just kidding; but what I gave you is all the Excel I feel like
doing today. I'm an Open Office user (Linux) (I'm only here in
Windows on a backup computer while I'm rebuilding my Linux box),
and MS products give me hives. <g>)

Second response: oh, what the heck... :)

=OR(K1<C1,L1<D1,M1<E1)

Actually, you could do the same for your first quesiton,
substituting "AND" for "OR". I didn't think about that until you
asked the "OR" question -- I'm so used to using IF statements that I
just automatically went that way for your first question.

Now -- start looking in Excel's function help when you need this
kinda stuff, eh? Thanks.

It's interesting that like me, you didn't suggest the AND
function, either. See my responses to OP -- I'm just used to
using IF statements, and didn't think about AND until he asked
about OR in a followup. :)

Going back to the AND, it works OK when all conditions are true, YES gets
put in the formula cell. But if one of them becomes false, then FALSE gets
put in the cell instead of NO.
If I use AND as in your second suggestion, I end up with #value in the
formula cell.

What do you expect when you listen to a dumb **** like that, eh?
