Formula does not work with drop down box
Hello I n column C12 I have a formula =IF (B12="Full Time ","100%
benefits",IF(B12="Part Time","50% Benefits","Not Eligible")) If I type Full Time or Part Time in cell B12 the formula works. When I added a drop down list to column B12 the formula does not work. How do I make this work? Many thanks |

Box or a List Box from theView Toolbars Forms menu? Regards, Alan. "Marilyn" wrote in message ...

I tested it and it works. I validated a cell as 'List' and entered 'Full
Time,Part Time' in the dialogue box. In your formula that you posted here there's a space after Full Time, =IF(B12="Full Time ")....... Could that be it? Regards, Alan. "Marilyn" wrote in message ...
