Default Conditional Move

I have the need to copy the content of a cell to another cell based on the
value of a totally different cell. If A1 is =1 and =<10, then I need to copy
the content of a3 to a4. Any clues on how to get this to work?

Thanks, Mike

Default Conditional Move

Formulae can't copy data from one cell to another, they can only return
values to their calling cells, so one way:

Put this in A4:

=IF(ABS(A1-5)<=5, A3, "")

In A4, use the formula =IF(AND(A1=1,A1<=10),A3,"whatever you want in A4 if
your condition isn't satisfied")

If you go down that route, oughtn't it to be =IF(ABS(A1-5.5)<=4.5, A3, "") ?

You're right- I was thinking 0 to 10, not 1 to 10.

Thanks for the correction.
