Default if condition

Hi,

No. you didnt understand my requirement.

only one condition.

if A1 = "ABC" (if it is true) then overwrite the cell B1 as "XYZ", if th
condition is false then take the value of a1 into d1 (I entered the formula
in D1)

=if(A1="ABC",B1="XYZ",A1)

if the condition is true then overwrite the value "XYZ" in cell B1

Hi,

Let me explain u in words. if cell A1 is "ABC" then overwrite the cell b1 as
"XYZ" (cell B1 may contain some value, I need to overwrite it as "XYZ") and
if the condition is false then take the value of A1. (Formula I entered in
D1).

I hope now u can understand my requirement.

How I am understanding this is.
Condition a) A1 = "ABC"
Condition b) B1 = "XYZ"
If both Condition's are TRUE, then D1 needs to equal the contents of
A1.

If this is correct, then you need IF plus the AND function..
=IF(AND(A1="ABC",B1="XYZ"),A1," ")
