I need a formula that looks says any cell that does not contain a "-",
"0" or blank will now equal the number in column B.

Any takers?

Dave

If "0" or "-" or <blank in D12, then
=IF(OR(D12="-",D12="",D12="0"),B12,"not specified")
There's probably a shorter way of doing this, but it works ok :)

Here's one way:
=IF(AND(NOT(ISNUMBER(FIND("-",A1,1))),NOT(ISNUMBER(FIND("0",A1,1))),NOT(ISNUMB ER(FIND("
",A1,1)))),B1,"")

I need a formula that looks says any cell that does *not* contain a "-",
"0" or blank will now equal the number in column B

I think that Jock may have intended:

=IF(OR(D12="-",D12="",D12="0"),"not specified",B12)

or

=IF(AND(D12<"-",D12<"",D12<"0"),B12,"not specified")

note that by puting the zero in quotes it will only match with a text zero.

This assumes that the OP intended that the cell contains *only* one of those
characters and not contains one of the characters within other text.
