=IF(B20="r","-2",IF(B20="5","-1",IF(B20="=","1","")))
The "5" displays blank, all the others work... any reason why? I am trying to be get so if in B20 someone enter's r "-2" diplays; 5 "-1" diplays; = "-2" diplays; and if they enter nothing then nothing displays. thank you! |

If so, you should write: =IF(B20="r","-2",IF(B20=5,"-1",IF(B20="=","1",""))) But I wonder if you want the __numbers__ -2, -1 and 1, not text. If so, you should write: =IF(B20="r",-2,IF(B20=5,-1,IF(B20="=",1,""))) ----- original message ----- "Jason" wrote: =IF(B20="r","-2",IF(B20="5","-1",IF(B20="=","1",""))) The "5" displays blank, all the others work... any reason why?
