Strange if(***) behaviour?
I have typed the following in
n20 =if(o20=1,"yes","No") when I type 1 into o20 n20 becomes Yes the formula disappears it is not the only cell to have this problem any suggestions? |
Strange if(***) behaviour?
That is the normal and intended behavior. The formula is placed in n20 and
the formula says, in English, if the entry in o20 is a 1, then display "yes" in the cell in which the formula is located, which is n20 in your case. If o20 is not a 1, display "No". The formula has not gone anywhere, it is still in the cell. What is in the cell and what is displayed in the cell are not necessarily the same thing. As in your case.

Thanks for the reply, but the formular is missing when you look into/edit the
cell "Otto Moehrbach" wrote: That is the normal and intended behavior.

Are you now saying that all is good or do you still have the situation that
the formula disappears? Formulas don't just disappear. If your formula is, in fact, disappearing, you have some code in that file that is doing this. HTH Otto "Excel 2003 - SPB" wrote in message ...

Any chance you have a "helpful" macro butting in?
I'd open excel in safe mode windows start button|Run excel /safe file|open your workbook test it out. If the formula doesn't get converted to values, then I'd look for macros that are doing this.

No Macros
Checked against/via alt&F11 I am running some forms which load results of 1 or 0 to the "o" cells I have no Data "ControlSource" with cell referances another thing when I copy a formular into the "effected cell" it instantly changes to Text?
