Creating an "F" Statement
Hello -
I need to create an "F" Statement that on one sheet I have spend plan and on the another sheet I have an ad hoc sheet. I would like a statement that states if a field is blank on ad hoc than it is blank on spend plan. Right now when I delete a field on the ad hoc it puts Jan 1900 on the spend plan field. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you, |

Creating an "F" Statement
Use something like this in say, Sheet1's A2:
=IF(Sheet2!B2="","",Sheet2!B2) -- Max Singapore http://savefile.com/projects/236895 Downloads:16,200 Files:354 Subscribers:53 xdemechanik --- "Sher" wrote: Hello - I need to create an "F" Statement that on one sheet I have spend plan and on the another sheet I have an ad hoc sheet.

Creating an "F" Statement
Hello Max -
I typed in the "IF" Statement but for some reason the statement just showed up on both sheets; so instead of making it blank it just place the statement there.

Creating an "F" Statement
Sounds like the cell that you placed the formula in was earlier formatted as
TEXT (unknown to you). Try formatting* that formula cell to either General or Number first, then click inside the formula bar and press ENTER to re-confirm the formula. *via clicking Format Cells -- Max Singapore http://savefile.com/projects/236895 Downloads:16,200 Files:354 Subscribers:53 xdemechanik --- "Sher" wrote: Hello Max - I typed in the "IF" Statement but for some reason the statement just showed up on both sheets; so instead of making it blank it just place the statement there. |

Good Morning Max -
Made the change formula cell to General and still no change. Not sure why this isn't working.

Aha, as mentioned in my response, you must:
" ... then click inside the formula bar and press ENTER to re-confirm the formula." Did you do the above? Formatting alone will not suffice. You must re-confirm the formula to re-trigger it -- Max Singapore http://savefile.com/projects/236895 Downloads:16,200 Files:354 Subscribers:53 xdemechanik --- "Sher" wrote: Good Morning Max - Made the change formula cell to General and still no change.

Perhaps you had the cell format set to Text? Format the cell as General &
re-enter the formula. -- David Biddulph "Sher" wrote in message ...

Yes, I did enter to re-confirm the formula and nothing has changed.

Copy your actual formula used (copy from inside the formula bar),
then paste it here in your reply -- Max Singapore http://savefile.com/projects/236895 Downloads:16,200 Files:354 Subscribers:53 xdemechanik --- "Sher" wrote in message ... Yes, I did enter to re-confirm the formula and nothing has changed. |

But what about my later message:
"In which case, try Tools/ Options/ View: uncheck Formulas. Or Control ` (perhaps the key to the left of 1) to toggle this function." If that didn't work, you need to respond to Max's last message: "Copy your actual formula used (copy from inside the formula bar), then paste it here in your reply" Also, check that you haven't got spare spaces (or other non-printing characters) in what you think is a formula but which Excel is presumably treating as text. -- David Biddulph "Sher" wrote in message ...

Yes, that's text, hence your problem. If it were a formula, the sheet name
would have had single quote marks around it. You can only omit the quote marks if the sheet name has no spaces in it. The easiest way to insert such a reference into a formula is to start typing the formula with the =IF( , and then go to the sheet concerned and click on the cell concerned to get Excel to insert that cell's reference in your formula. When you had hit enter to reconfirm your "formula", I would have expected it to go to the "Update Values" dialogue, looking for the workbook from which the link came. -- David Biddulph "Sher" wrote in message ...
