Default Base the value of one cell on another


That worked like a charm! Thank you so much.


You're welcome.

One more question--why did I have to do the Control-Shift-Enter to make
it work?


That is how Excel knows to treat the ranges inside the function as arrays, where each element is
evaluated seperately, rather than just as a range, where (often) all elements are handled at once.
