Default how to decrease cell1 value if i increase cell2 value & visaversa

How would i get the value of one cell to increase or decrease as i alter the
value of another cell?

example: cell 1 has a value of '3'..if cell 2 has a value of '1' then i want
cell 1 to change its value to '2'...if cell 2 has a value of '0' then cell 1
will remain at value '3'

if anyone can help..please mail me...many thanks!

Try this: Enter
=IF(E2=1,2,IF(E2=0,3,3))
in cell 2, E2 being cell 1.

Stefi

Hi Stefi,

Many thanks for the help...although it is on the right track, its not quite
doing it. with the formula you have supplied if cell 1 is anything but '1'
then cell 2 remains at '3' if cell 1 is '1' then cell 2 is '2'..

I've tried to modify this formula myself so that i could say it worked.. but
i know nothing about IF commands.

But like i said...definately on the right track - thanks again for your
efforts

Paul
