how do I use letters to link instead of numbers
I am trying to link a cell for example in sheet 2 to a cell in sheet 1 using
yes and no, so if i input a yes in the cell on sheet 2 nothing is put on sheet 1, however if i input a no then a word or sentence is input into the cell on sheet 1. Also can I link 3 different cells on sheet 2 ie cell 1 is correct so i input yes, cell 2 is incorrect so i input a no, cell 3 is correct so i input a yes, then in 1 cell on sheet 1 the word or sentence is input |

Colin,
Link cells can be done in this way =IF(Sheet2!A1="Yes","","A Sentence") This formula would be in a cell on Sheet 1 and if Sheet2 A1 is Yes then it does nothing, if it is different than Yes then it displays "A sentence".

First part.........................
=IF(Sheet1!A1<"no","","this is a sentence") Not sure what you need for second part. Might help if you use actual cell references rather than Cell 1 and Cell 2 etc. Gord Dibben MS Excel MVP On Tue, 14 Aug 2007 02:46:04 -0700, colin wrote: I am trying to link a cell for example in sheet 2 to a cell in sheet 1 using yes and no, so if i input a yes in the cell on sheet 2 nothing is put on sheet 1, however if i input a no then a word or sentence is input into the cell on sheet 1.

how do I use letters to link instead of numbers
mike Thanks for the input, it sorted out part of the problem easily, Now for the next part.... sheet 2 cell a1 reads insulation fitted, cell a2 lid, cell a3 blank, cell a4 tank, cell a5 blank.... now if i input a yes into cell a3 then nothing is input onto sheet 1, however if I then put a no in cell a5 then install insulation is inserted into sheet 1.... i need to mix and match the cells so that if both cells read yes then nothing is input onto sheet 1 however if any one of the cells read no then the sentence is required on sheet 1. thanks |
