I have the following formula in a spreadsheet. Any value I use in the M
column works EXCEPT F10. For some unknown reason, the formula still
appears to be good, but does not return a true answer.


=IF($M3="F10",72.4+2.7,IF($M3="F11",72.4+2.7,IF($M 3="F12",72.4+2.7,0)))


I will greatly appreciate any help!

Thanks.

rbp,

What value is it returning when you put "F10" in column M? I assume you
want it to return 75.1 (72.4+2.7).

rbp,

I get 75.1 if M3 contains "F10". Try this: with the formula selected,
highlight the $M3, then press F9 (calculate). You should see "F10" in its
place. Press Esc, not Enter, or the formula will be changed to what's in
the formula bar now.

What exactly is F10 - 11 - 12?
Are they just "Text Data"?
Or maybe, cell addresses?
Also ... If they're *IN* M3, how do they get there? Keyed in ... results of
other formulas ... imported from other apps?
