Validation List to fill adjacent cell with IF?
I am trying to set up a drop down list (list is set up ok) that has the
months of the year in it to correspond with a number for the month using IF, but it doesn't seem to work. Here is the formula I was trying in cell A2: IF(A1="January",(1))*IF(A1="February",(2))...etc. The value in A2 comes back as 0 or #NAME. Obviously this is not the way to set this up, but I am unsure how to make it work. Is there somewhere I can look this up or does someone have a formula to use? I use Excel 2002 and 2003. |
