One more question if someone can help. Based on below. Looking to see
if
I can change this statement. If a4 = "yes", or "please do", then return
a1.
if a4 = "no" or "maybe not", then return a2.

=IF(A4="Yes",A1,IF(A4="No",A2,"Unspecified"))

works great. Thank you Mike

Yes you can do that like this

=IF(LEFT(A4,1)="Y",A1,IF(LEFT(A4,1)="N",A2,""))

Hi Mike,

This works perfectly, I didn't include the undefined part which threw
me
off.

Can I extend this if statement by asking if Y or yes, would provide
a1, if
No, or N would provide a2.

Maybe

=IF(A4="Yes",A1,IF(A4="No",A2,"Unspecified"))

I am looking to add an if statement where if I use one value, it
will produce
the information from one cell, and if I enter a different value
it would take
info from a second cell.

Example: A1 = Value 1, A2 = Value 2, A3 is the if statement,
and A4 is the
cell with the variable. For the IF statement in the A3 cell, it
would be
based on the following information. If A4 has the word "yes",
it would pull
info from A1. If A4 has the value "No", it would pull info from
A2. How
would I do this?
