or if the g5 has total priority
=if(g5="willupd','to be set",if(value(O5)=0,"pull","keep"))

If it always comes up as "pull", that indicates It always see value(O5) as 0
What does a cell with
=Value(O5)
show

if O5 will Not be negative
I think the equation should be
=IF(VALUE(O5)=0,"Pull",P5: =IF(VALUE(G5)="will upd","to be set","Keep")

If Value

No it comes up as pull. I guess there is no way to do it. Thanks guys

Well, near as I can guess....
maybe this?

P5: =IF(VALUE(O5)=0,"Pull",IF(VALUE(O5)0,"Keep",IF(G5 ="will upd","to be
set","")))


Is that something you can work with?

hey Ron what i am trying to do is cell p5 contain either keep pull or to be
set in other words keep and pull depends on O5 And to be set depends on G5.
is there anyway to do it or some sort of function. thanks

So far, this what I see

If O5=0 then return: "Pull"
Otherwise,
If 050 then return:"Keep"

You also have....
If G5="will upd" then return: "to be set"
Otherwise,
return an empty string:""

Is there supposed to be a relationship between those 2 phrases?

Can anybody tell me what's wrong with this
=IF(VALUE(O5)=0,"Pull",IF(VALUE(O5)0,"Keep"))=IF( G5="will upd","to be
set",""). Thanks
