Google Sheets Help: If-Then formula

[WaveHunter]

Can anybody help me with this in Google Sheets?  I used to be able to do it and now I can't remember how.  I tried using the standard "if-then" formula but must be doing something wrong.

 

I want a formula that will make cell 13 equal zero, if the sum of cell 14 + 15 is greater than 2,000.  Assume the column is "A" for the purpose of giving me the formula.

 

 

Thanks!

Do you use the Google Sheets API v4 by any chance? Or just the sheets themselves?

Thanks but that I was using something similar and I just couldn't get it to work.  I remember it was a very simple formula.  I must be making a syntax error but I can't figure where, so hoping somebody can just write it out for me so I can plug it in.

What ever is at https://docs.google.com/.  I really am not an expert with the specifics of Google Sheets, but I'm pretty sure the formula is more or less universal, and I remember it was very simple.

What do you want it to display if the sum of 14 and 15 is less than 2000?

My guess is don't do anything with row 13 in that case.

=IF(B12+B13>2000,0,"X")

Then it would be =IF((A14+A15)>2000,0,"")

I think it should be =IF((B14 + B15) > 2000, 0,)

 

Note final comma, that should preserve the original content in cell 13 if the intention is not to modify it.

If anyone does use Sheets API v4 I wrote an extensive library in ruby if anyone wants it for zip.

Thanks, very useful tip. Excel user because of my old job so still getting used to Sheets (I use it on my phone for fairly simple calculations).
