=IF(B8="M","HI") OK but =IF(B8="M","HI")+IF(B8="x","bye") not why
I'm trying to enter a formula similar to
=IF(B1=0,"0")+IF(B1=1,A1*1)+IF(B1=2,A1*2) but instead of A1*1 or 2 etc. I want the result to return a text response such as =IF(B1="Hi","Hello")+IF(B1="Bye","Good bye") but this results in an error. What am I doing wrong? |

=IF(B8="M","HI") OK but =IF(B8="M","HI")+IF(B8="x","bye") not why
=IF(B1="Hi","Hello","Good bye")
This assumes that the only two possible values in B1 are "hi" or "bye".

You can't add two text strings together - use & instead of + between
the two If statements. Hope this helps.

try this idea =if(b1=0,"joe","")&if(b2=1," played","") but maybe you just want to nest em if(b1=0,dothis,if(b1=1,dothat,"")) -- Don Guillett SalesAid Software "Nater" wrote in message ...

Hi,
Maybe this is what you're looking for: =IF(B1="Hi","Hello",IF(B1="Bye","Good Bye","")) HTH Jean-Guy "Nater" wrote: I'm trying to enter a formula similar to =IF(B1=0,"0")+IF(B1=1,A1*1)+IF(B1=2,A1*2) but instead of A1*1 or 2 etc. I want the result to return a text response such as =IF(B1="Hi","Hello")+IF(B1="Bye","Good bye") but this results in an error.
