How to set predictions based on unknown future circumstances.

Updated over a week ago

An 'If' formula is how you can set predictions based on unknown future circumstances.

In the example below, the formula is going to calculate 20% commission if Income is greater than or equal to £50,000. However, it will calculate 10% if it's less than £50,000.

📎NOTE: The screenshot below is for comparison purposes only. The first line will replace the second line.

MC: Does the screenshot look slightly better in a block?

Example of a formula. 'AVG(@Income, DATE(2022,01), DATE(2022,06))' then on another line it says 'AVG(Reference, DATE(year, month), DATE(year, month))'

  • The condition is @Income

  • The variable replaces the equals - in this case, greater than or equal to

  • True for this example is £50,000

  • Option A is the variable if the condition is hit, so: Income multiplied by 0.2 to give 20% of the total of Income

  • Option B is if the condition isn't hit, so 'Income' multiplied by 0.1 to give 10% of the total of 'Income'
