My suggestion is you ask a clear question. I can't figure out what you're
trying to do. Is it as simple as:
=if(a2="Hispanic",1,0)
?

If not, give some more examples.

If you have an ethnicity column I want to go to the next column and for
all
of a certain ethnicity I want to return either a 1 or a zero.

Column A Column B
Hispanic 1
White 0
African American 0

In this case I am just quering for one ethnicity to which the second
column
would display a1 for yes and or a 0 for no.

Any suggestions.
