Why won't 'IF-Statement' Formula work for an entire column?

I am trying to make an IF formula subtract a cells value from another cells value, creating a 'balance'.  The formula is working when selecting one cell for each part of the formula, but is not working when I try to use the formula for multiple cells (entire column).  The formula I am using for single cells is as follows:
=IF(Monthly Timeline :: F2="Citi",Monthly Timeline :: D2+1000,1000)
The formula works with way, when I select the pop-up menu in F2 to say "Citi" it will add the value of D2 to 1000 and give me a proper solution, but when I change it to the entire column as follows:
=IF(Type="Citi",Amount+1000,1000)
The formula for entire columns 'Type' and 'Amount' does not produce a proper solution, it will display 1000, no matter how many values in the 'Amount" column have "Citi" selected in the pop-up menu in the 'Type' column.
I know there is a way to make this formula work but I can't seem to figure out what I am doing wrong  any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

the function if() does not apply to a column.  the functions sumif() and sumifs() do apply to columns.  You can get detailed information regarding these functions in the function browser.  To open the function browser select the menu item:
"View > Show Function Browser"

  • Why won't my Apple ID work for Facetime & Imessages?

    Ok, I've just brought the new Itouch (I was using the first gen itouch beforehand) I've connected it up to my Itunes and registered my new product with out a hitch.  However!  One of the many reasons for the upgrade is so that I can keep in touch with friends aborad using the facetime app.  I've gone in and it's asked me to supply or create my apple ID which I have done (tried my old ID) but i get the same error message "you were signed out of Face time because your apple ID or password changed" but I have not changed anything!
    After having a look on the board it seems like it could be that I'm not set up for Icloud, again this is a problem as everytime it tries to verify it says to go to my mail account for a varification email but nothing has been sent.  Or, do i need to do anything that will revove my old Itouch?  I haven't wipped it yet as I wanted to make sure my new one was up and running first.
    I am at my wits end,
    Please help!

    In my continuing search for a solution, I've come across another discussion of this problem that may be useful to some. You will find here:  http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=1250735
    It offers two ideas to try.
    First, if you are using Little Snitch, try turning it off when you want to log into iCloud. (As it happens, I do use LS, but turning it off made no difference for me. Some of the posters do report success, however.)
    Secondly, try deleting the ~/Library/Application Support/iCloud/Accounts folder. (Again, some posters report this solved the problem, but it didn't work for me.)
    Let us know if you have luck with either of these.

  • Why won't my itunes account work for the app store on my imac?

    I just got my mom's imac, which has her itunes account linked to the app store. 
    My personal itunes account is logged in in and working in itunes, but when i attempt to log into the app store, it says "Your device or computer could not be verified".
    What's up??

    Thanks for the help. 
    I just spoke with an apple rep and they walked me through a ton of stuff. 
    Ended up restarting a couple times they had me move the file "com.apple.appstore.plist"  from Library/Preferences to my desktop and restart. 
    Then, logging in worked.
    Thanks again!

  • Why is my transfer statement no working for a string?

    I have a a string field that I create via call transformation.
    I now want to download that string to my PC.
    I can not use the GUI_DOWNLOAD because it demands a table to download - I have a string field so i can not use a table to download.
    So i am tring to use the tranfer statement.
    It returns sy-subrc = 0 but nothing is downloaded.
    Here is the sample code.
    data: lv_result_xml. type string.
    Call to XSLT Transformation
      TRY.
          CALL TRANSFORMATION zrcs_xfer_wrty_xslt
                SOURCE batchtime = filetime
                       saletab   = saletab
                RESULT XML lv_result_xml.
        CATCH cx_xslt_exception INTO xslt_error.
          xslt_message = xslt_error->get_text( ).
          RAISE xslt_error.
      ENDTRY.
    types: begin of ty_xml_line,
    data(256) type x,
    *end of ty_xml_line.
    *data: wa_xmlrec type ty_xml_line.
      OPEN DATASET zfile FOR OUTPUT IN BINARY MODE.
      TRANSFER lv_result_xml TO zfile. "LENGTH w_size.
    *loop at xml_tab into wa_xmlrec.
    *v_strlen = strlen( wa_xmlrec ).
    *transfer wa_xmlrec to v_serfile length v_strlen1.
    *endloop.
      CLOSE DATASET zfile.

    Looking at your other posts I don't know whether this is still an open issue. One thing you should note however: OPEN DATASET - TRANSFER  - CLOSE DATASET creates files on the application server, not on your workstation.

    Perhaps try resetting your iTunes Store Cache.
    Go "Edit > Preferences". In the Advanced tab, click the "Reset cache" button shown in the following screenshot:

    Restart your iTunes, and head back to the Store. Are you getting full previews now?

  • My camra shutter won't open but it works for FaceTime

    Why won't my camra work? It works for FaceTime and that's it

    The front and the rear camera are two different things. One can work and not the other. It is not unusual, it happened to my daughter's phone. Try a reset on the phone, hold the sleep/wake and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo. If that doesn't help, you can try a restore, first from a backup and if no help, then as a new phone. If no joy, then make an appointment with the Apple store.

  • Why won't my lock button work?

    I went to lock my iPod and my lock button won't work. I can't even push it down, it's like stuck down in the hole but it won't pop back up. Everything works fine but I have to wait for it to auto-lock everytime I want to turn it off. Why won't the button pop back up?

    It looks like you have a hardware issue. I don't know why the button doesn't pop up, but You can enable assistive touch. Assistive touch gives you a virtual lock button, so that will solve you problem. You can enable it by going to Settings->General->Accessibillity->AssistiveTouch->On.

    Try to force quit the app
    Double tap the home button. When you see the app previews on the screen scroll sideways if needed to get the preview in question on the screen. Flick that preview up and off the screen to close the app. Single tap the home button or home screen preview to exit the mode.

    Why won't Kindle or instagram Apps work on my I-Touch?
    Why do either of them require IOS 4 or 5 and why can't Itouch V2 update to IOS 4 or 5 operating systems?

    1. The developer stopped supporting older iOS versions.
    2. A second generation iPod touch can be updated to iOS 4.2.1 but doesn't have enough RAM to run iOS 4.3 or newer.
