Now that I've played with this a bit more, I know this is basic and I'm probably posting in the wrong formum. But I can't get things to work, and I don't know why not.


I have a spreadsheet with the file numbers. Btw, these are loan numbers rather than file or spreadsheets. The point is that I have my data, and I can apply the formula to obtain the last two digits of each. So now I have something like this....

Loan # Term Digits
7977634 34
16556300 00
7847344 44
8361829 29
7976682 82
8250334 34
8201514 14
8191585 85
8220618 18

Now I need to assign an employee based on the term digits. The if statement that I'm using is not working, and I can't even get a simple one to run. I'm trying this =IF(C2<50,Sheryl,IF(C2<99,Lisa)). And the results keeps coming up "false", so there is probably something very basic that I'm missing and I haven't a clue what. All I want is for it to tall me that if the term digit is between 00 and 49, the employee is Sheryl. If it's between 50 and 99, it's Lisa.
I think you should use this formula: =IF(C2<50,"Sheryl","Lisa"). You should enclose Sheryl and Lisa with quotation marks as these are string values.

You can also use (if A2 is where the Loan # is):

=IF(Right(A2,2)*1<50,"Sheryl","Lisa")

The formula will acquire the last 2 digits of the loan and check it if it's for Sheryl's or Lisa's.
