Can someone help me figure out what the formula is for this question.

In cell K5, enter a nested IF function that produces the result “Owing” if the value of cell J5 (Balance) is greater than 0 (zero), “Credit” if the Balance is less than 0, and “Paid Up” otherwise.

It is suppose to look like this in the "Status".

Here is what I changed it to if the above doesn't work for you:

=IF([@Balance]>0,"Owing",IF([@Balance]<0,"Credit","Paid Up"))

    I fixed it and it is saved at your link above. It was having problems because it was a table, so I changed it to use table references instead of cell references.

    Can you save a copy of your workbook to OneDrive and share it and post the link here?

    My first cell ends up being "Paid up", when is it suppose to be "Owing" status. Also, anything that is in a negative balance is not showing as a "Credit" and showing up as "owing".
