Abi,

If you are putting that formula in B205, QED, circular reference.

A formula cannot refer to its own containing cell, only other cells. So you
formula needs to go in C205 or somewhere.

I'm trying to solve a problem with a formula I'd like to write. I think
I'm
doing it correctly, but it keeps giving me a circular reference error.

What I want:
If data entry in the cell is 1, make the cell read One-Man, otherwise make
the cell read Two-Man. (It will only ever be 1 or 2.)

What I was trying to use:
=IF(B205=1,"One-Man","Two-Man")
or some iteration of that.

Maybe I should be using a different formula function. I'm not sure.
Help!
