MS Office Forum / Excel / General Excel Questions / December 2007Formula for Budget
I need a formula for a budget I am drafting with estimated and actual costs. Column B is estimated costs, Column C is actual costs. I can SUM the numbers in Column B for the estimated total cost but for the actual total cost I need to SUM the numbers in Column B unless there is a number in Column C that is different, in which case I would like to use the value in C for that item instead of B. I am Excel illiterate so thanks for any help! =SUM(IF(B2:B20<>C2:C20,C2:C20,B2:B20)) which is an array formula, it should be committed with Ctrl-Shift-Enter, not just Enter. Excel will automatically enclose the formula in braces (curly brackets), do not try to do this manually. When editing the formula, it must again be array-entered.
