Default Logical Functions

If C11 was formatted as Text, then it would work. However, if it is in the
default format of General, then 222 will be seen as a number and "222" with
quotes will not match since the quotation markes make it a text string. Try
this simpler formula below. The "All" and 222 have been combined into an OR
statement since the result will be the same.

=IF(OR(Combo_4_000664!C11="All",(Combo_4_000664!C1 1=222)),"1",IF(Combo_4_000664!C11="quota","0",""))

HTH,
Paul

Thanks, that worked. Are numbers not suppose to have quotations? Also, I
would like to have the cell blank if nothing is entered.

Remove the quotes from "222".

=IF(Combo_4_000664!C11="All","1",IF(Combo_4_000664 !C11="quota","0",IF(Combo_4_000664!C11=222,"1")))

Will C11 ever be Blank? If so, what do you want displayed? If you want
it
to be blank, then:
=IF(Combo_4_000664!C11="All","1",IF(Combo_4_000664 !C11="quota","0",IF(Combo_4_000664!C11=222,"1","") ))

Thanks, I got it to work and it cleared up my issues. But it lead me
to
one
other question....Here is my formula:
=IF(Combo_4_000664!C11="All","1",IF(Combo_4_000664 !C11="quota","0",IF(Combo_4_000664!C11="222","1")) )

but I am getting a "FALSE" when I enter 222 in my linked spreadsheet.
I
believe it's because I am already using a "1" for my All case, so does
anyone
know how to rewrite this to clean it up. I really appreciate this
help,
everyone.

Did you try your formula? You've written it using semi-colons (;)
instead
of commas (,).

Anyway, the formula is cleaner if you test for blank first.
=IF(A1="","",IF(A1="Female","Male","Female"))

Example if certain cell is A1:
In A2, formula is:
=IF(A1="Male";"Female";IF(A1="Female";"Male";""))
(If A1 is not "Male" or "Female" then the cell will not display
anything
with the above formula.)

Kind regards,
Erny

Hi,
If I have a certain cell with text in it that I am hard coding as
Female
or
Male, and I want the next cell down to automatically state the
opposite
sex
than that cell, what logical function would I use?

Thanks,
