Hi there,

I would love your help with making an IF THEN formula.


I am importing my expenses from Mint. There are two columns:



  • Amount: $

  • Transaction Type: Credit or Debit


The amounts are all positive, and the “Credit” or “Debit” lets you know whether the number should be considered a positive or a negative number.


I would like to have the following statement turned into a formula:

In a new column called “True Amount” : If Transaction Type is Debit, Multiply Amount by -1


Therefore, if I spent $100 and earned $50 the numbers would look like this

-$100

$50

and sum to $50


Now they look like:

$100

$50

and sum to $150 which makes no sense


THANK YOU SO MUCH!

Try:

IF({Transaction Type} = "Debit", - {Amount}, {Amount})
