Excel IF Formula
 

I have a spreadsheet with 4 cells that 1 of the 4 will have a calculated
value in it. I want to take the numeric value in the cell that has a value
and place it into another cell for information. Following is the string I
have written but I am doing something wrong.

=IF(E251, E25,IF(E271, E27, If(E291, E29,IF(E311, E31)))),"ERROR"

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

This is your "corrected" formula:
=IF(E251,E25,IF(E271,E27,IF(E291,E29,IF(E311,E 31,"ERROR"))))

If only one of those cells will have a value in it and the rest are
guaranteed to be empty, then you can use this formula to do what you want..

=--(E25&E27&E29&E31)

The formula will generate a #VALUE! error if all of the cells are empty. If
that error message is not sufficient, then you can use this formula
instead...

=IF(E25&E27&E29&E31="","ERROR",--(E25&E27&E29&E31))
