Formula does not work with drop down box
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 ...
