I tested it and it works. I validated a cell as 'List' and entered 'Full
Time,Part Time' in the dialogue box. In your formula that you posted here
there's a space after Full Time, =IF(B12="Full Time ").......
Could that be it?

Hello I n column C12 I have a formula =IF (B12="Full Time ","100%
benefits",IF(B12="Part Time","50% Benefits","Not Eligible")) If I type
Full
Time or Part Time in cell B12 the formula works. When I added a drop
down
list to column B12 the formula does not work. How do I make this
work?
Many thanks
