Hi,
you can use a formula like

=IF('[File.xls]check'!N18=1,"Yes","NO")

if N18 =1 will enter yes otherwise no

hope this helps

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to retrieve a specific cell value

I would like to set if-statement as shown below

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to code the workbook part? in order

Thanks in advance for any suggestions
