hello, world. ;)
i´ve got a workbook that retrieves data from an SQLserver.
on sheet 1 i´ve got a formula that gets data from sheet2 as long as
there´s no more current value on sheet 3.
i´m using this frmula:

Code:
--------------------


Code:
--------------------
=IF(ISBLANK(METRIC_Kname1_S2);METRIC_Kname1_S1;MET RIC_Kname1_S2)
--------------------

METRIC_Kname1_Sn are defined names of cells both on sheet 2 and 3.

unfortunately excel accepts the formula but executes it incorrect.

i always retrieve the value from sheet3, regardless of it´s value, even if it´is empty.
the next hting i tried was:

Code:
--------------------
=IF(Len(METRIC_Kname1_S2)=0;METRIC_Kname1_S1;METRI C_Kname1_S2)
--------------------

the result was the same as with the formula above.

for testing purposes i´ve hardcoded it this way:

Code:
--------------------
=IF(ISBLANK(METRIC_Kname1_S2);"the value of sheet2 is the most curent one";"there´s a more current one on sheet3")
--------------------


and it works!!
i become more and more despair of trying to find a formula that works... :(
is there anybody who could help me to solve the problem?
thanks a lot in advance ;)
