Perfect. Thanks so much.

The change to your formula that I gave in my last post will work or you

use:

=IF(OR(F1="C",B1="CALL"),A1,0)

Yes, I'm getting a "Too many arguments" message. Sorry, I put the
wrong
error. Is there any way around this issue?

You should be getting a "Too many arguments" message. If are getting
a
circular reference then you must have the formula in one of the
referenced
cells.

=IF(F1="C",A1,IF(B1="CALL",A1,0))

This IF statement is giving me a circular reference error:

=IF(F1="C",A1,0,IF(B1="CALL",A1,0))

Is it possible to get around the fact that the data for the True
statement
is in the same field for both IF statements? Or is it something else
in
this
statement that's causing the error. Thanks for any help.
