Hi Tom,

I caught the typo before, no worries. I'm still unable to get the
function to work however. Column G is where I want the comments to be
made so I enter in =ShtComment(G3) and I get the #NAME error. I had the
function listed underneath my macro module so I believe it was in the
right place to begin with.

Good news is that I came up with another solution. Bad news, of course,
is that it poses a new problem. I decided to do away with the first IF
statement that checked the A3 cell for a blank and combine it with the
next one with an AND function so it currently looks like this:

=IF(AND(NOT(ISBLANK(A3)),COUNTIF(S$3:S$20000,A3)1 ), "Duplicate or
secondary invoice in GP", IF(AND(ISERROR(H3),J3="Yes"),"Scheduled to
pay/apply",IF(J3="Yes","Paid/Applied",IF(K3="Yes","Dropship import
error", IF(L3="Yes", "Duplicate or secondary invoice in VNet",
IF(ISTEXT(E3),"Open - Dropship", IF(ISNUMBER(E3), "Open - Owned Good",
"Open")))))))

Works good so far, but now I just need to figure out how to highlight
and delete all the blank cells in the E column for it to work
perfectly. There seems to be a lot of advice already in eliminating
blank cells so that shouldn't be too much trouble.

Thanks again for the help, I'm planning a crash course in VBA and I
hope to come back to that function and make it work.

ARGGHH! Typo time. The function call should be:

=ShtComment(A3)

Regarding splitting the formula across cells in 2 columns: once you are
satisfied you are getting the expected results, you could hide the column
with the second cell.
