Changing a cell value from another cell.
Here's what I'm trying to do. I've created a drop-down list in a cell. I use
IF statements in two other cells that change the value of those cells depending on the value selected in the drop-down list. This works fine for the automatic value entry in the cells with the IF statements, but I also need to allow the user to select a "Manual Entry" value from the drop-down list that requires the user to manually enter values in the cells that have the IF statements. Of course when they do this, the IF statements are overwritten by the manually entered value. So if the user wants to select another list option, the automatic value entry no longer works. Is there some way to make the two cells with the IF statements allow manual entry without overwriting the functionality of the IF statements? What I'm hoping is that perhaps a third cell can be used to determine the value of the cells that currently contain the IF statements. For example, perhaps this third cell can contain an IF statement related to the drop-down list, then conditionally supply the value to the other cell depending on the selection in the drop-down list. That way entering values into that cell would not overwrite a formula in that cell. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm using Excel 2003, SP3. |
