How to use cell fron different sheet in IF statement
 

Two of us who know just enough to be dangerous tried different variations for
over 2 hours last night. We need to be able to pull data from sheet 40, cell
C24 and use it in an IF statement. We could pull the data from sheet 40 by
itself and insert it into a cell on our current sheet, then in a different
cell, take that and use the IF, but we were unable to do it in one step.

Here's basically what we tried, I am hoping this is possible and we just
couldn't get the hang of the syntax:

=IF('40'!C24=X,1,0)

Any help will be greatly appreciated,

TIA

Is the name of the sheet actually 40? That is what you are showing with the
'40'! if it is not, change it. Also put your 'X' in quotes "x".

It is actually just 40. I think that we tried the quotes on the "X", but
I'll try again. He has the file on his computer, but I don't have it here on
mine. Thanks for your reply.

Thanks to you both!! I just set up a fast & dirty workbook & that was it, we
didn't have the quotes. Too late last night - couple of legal beverages...
just couldn't make it work.

Thanks again,

If you think the problem is with the file name do this;
1) Type =IF(
2) Point to cell C24 on the other sheet
The Formula bar will read =IF(sheet_name!C24
3) Compete the formula by typing the rest
