Hi,
I need some help creating an IF formula incorporating the following info: =IF(B5="Yes","£10.20-B4","Please complete below") The part that isnt working for me just now is the TRUE return. I need it to be £10.20 minus the monetary amount already entered in B4. Any suggestions? |

hi
you have the true part in quotes. excel thinks it's text. remove the quotes and the pound sign i.e....... =IF(B5="Yes",10.2-B4,"Please complete below") regards FSt1 "ScottishSteve" wrote: Hi, I need some help creating an IF formula incorporating the following info: =IF(B5="Yes","£10.20-B4","Please complete below") The part that isnt working for me just now is the TRUE return.

You don't need to put the £ sign in front of the 10.20 - just format the
cell as currency to display that. Also, you do not need to put quotes around the calculation: =IF(B5="Yes",10.20-B4,"Please complete below") Hope this helps. Pete "ScottishSteve" wrote in message ...

If you want a formula to be evaluated, rather than a text string, throw away
the quote marks. Change =IF(B5="Yes","£10.20-B4","Please complete below") to =IF(B5="Yes",10.2-B4,"Please complete below") and format the cell in an appropriate currency format. -- David Biddulph "ScottishSteve" wrote in message ...
