Default =IF(logical test,value if true,value if false) always backwards!


Christine,

If your formula has the value zero in quotes

=IF(C3="0",....)

and C3 has numeric data, it will always be false and return the
calculation for the false return. Try taking your qotation marks out
of the formula so

=IF(C3=0,....)

The quotation marks make excel look for a text value not a numeric
value.


Cheers,

Steve
