Hello All
I have created a formula in one column that returns a value of 5 if a
given
line entry is more than 5 years old.

What I want to do is then say " if (and((d35, b30),"Yes","")
What this does is if the entry is over 5 years old and there is a
value
greater than 0 in cell b3, then give a value of "yes".

However since cell D3 contains a formula it does not work! If I were
to
manually type in the values in Column D then it works ok.

Is there a function in Excel that says "if the result of the formula
5"
then ....??

thanks

Your formula has too many brackets (, remove one of the brackets after
and so it reads as follows:

=IF(AND(D35,B30),"Y","")

Hi Paul

Thanks for the information re the brackets, but unfortunately it still does
not work.
If any of the cells in D3 are blank it still does not work. I need to add
something into the formula that says
=if(d3="","",if(and(d35,b30),"y","").

I have just created a little formula that says, in english, if D35, "Yes".
It gives a value of "Yes" to cells with " " in it ( with a formula behind
it).
If I delete the formula and delete everything from the cell, this solves the
problem!

Still confused!

But it still doesn't solve my problem why
