Default replace value in excel?

On 6 Jan 2006 16:29:11 -0800, wrote:

Hi,

Is there a replace function that can be used within IF function on
excel worksheet?
In one column A, I have two same number underneath each other...like

1755 - A1
1755 - A2

On the other column B, I have two different values...like

17500 - b1
25000 - b2

Now, what I want to do is insert a column C, and want to compare &
replace: =if(a1=a2, replace b2 to b1....means I want b1 to replace by
value of b2.

Can someone help me with that?

Thank you in advance for your help.


The only way you can change B1 using a worksheet function is with a formula in
b1. For example:

B1: =if(a1=a2,b2,17500)

You could replace the 17500 with a formula or cell reference. So let's say you
entered the 17500 in D1, then:

B1: =if(a1=a2, b2, d1)

A VBA macro could also effect the change, if you want to go that route.
