in you example is the cell you want updated "Q1"?
If so than it should read =IF(Q80="closed",NOW()) -- Kevin "WYN" wrote: good day all, i am trying to get this formual ie: =if(q80="closed",q1=now())i cant get it right. i have tried various variations of the formula.any help is appreciated. thx wyn -- wynb |

In that formula you'll get a FALSE result any time Q80 doesn't equal NOW(). You'll have to tell Excel what to display for those occasions. If you want the cell to appear to be blank then add to the formula like this: =IF(Q80="closed",NOW(),"") -- Cutter ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Cutter's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...fo&userid=9848 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=401988 |
