nested if statements [solved]

[worrierqueen]

I have a query about nested if statements and would appreciate any help.

I'm trying to do up order totals and have two columns quantities and values. The values come in two currencies which I need to convert to local currency.

So my first if statment says if there is a number in the quantity column then put the $value in the $Value column, but the $value placed there should be the local currency if the currency column is the local currency or instead should be modified by the exchange rate (a constant in the exchange rate conversion cell) to convert into the local currency if the order was placed in the foreign currency.

e.g. if I'm selling a widget for 10 pounds or $20 and 1 widget has been sold then put $20 in the $value column if the value is in $ or put the pound value x by the exchange rate in the $value column instead. Thus all the $value totals end up in the local currency.

Hope this makes sense and thanks again for any help.

To be absolutely clear why i can't just use one if statement, we sell widgets and wodgets and I'm also trying to find out how many widgets we sell and how many wodgets we sell. So say column A is product name, column B is no. of products sold, column C is value and column D is currency. I am trying to derive 4 more values; column E being widget sales, column F being widget $value, Column G being wodget sales and column H being wodget $value.

My current formula says in column E1 =IF(A1="widget";A2;0)
in column F1 it says =IF(E1<>0;C1;0)

similarly column G and H are the same except for wodget's rather than widgets. The problem is that both column F and H don't take currency into account, so i need to add a nested loop somewhere to say If Column D is non-local currency then instead of putting C1 in F1 I need to put C1 x exchange rate (a single-value constant) into F1.

Hope that is clearer and thanks again for any help.

Thanks very much for this ozzie, appreciate it. Since its looking at historic data (over years) I'm just using annual average exchange rate data for each year's sales.

Thanks again.
