In your target cells (eg, B1), you use a formula like:

=if(a1="yes","n/a","whatever you want if it's not yes")

Using excel v.2007

I would like to populate a number of cells with the same answer depending
on
what I answer in cells prior to the cells I want with the same answer.

For example. If I answer 'yes' in cell A1, then I would like cells B1
through to G1 to have an answer of 'n/a'.

I'm new to the world of excel, so please can you help. If you need more
info, let me know.

Thanks.
