Default Should be a easy How do I

Actually you can trick Excel by dumbing down the formula

=IF(E6="A",60,""&IF(E6="B",60,"")&and so on

only limitation is the length of the formula, having said that I wouldn't
recommend it since the formula would be very ugly

Hi
You can actually use 7 IF statements not 6.........but any more than that
would suggest you use a VLOOKUP table

In F6 paste
=if(E6="WALGREENS",60,if(E6="CVS",60,if(E6="TARGET ",120,"")))' you can
gang
up to 6 if statements together.

Now let's add something else
Here is the formula real
=IF(OR(ISNUMBER(FIND("WALGREENS",E5)),ISNUMBER(FIN D("CVS",A1))),60,"")
Now what I need to do is if the cell contains "WALGREENS" OR "CVS"
return 60
like above, but if it contains "TARGET" return 120 else blank

Thanks
