How to add different text to one cell?
For example. . .
I have created a drop down list in A1 that says A, B, C. Now I want cell A2 to show different content depending on what's in cell A1. So if A1 is B, I would want it to say "hello" and if A1 said C, I would like it to say "goodbye." I know how to make this work using the IF function but I cant figure out how to add more than one answer. Any ideas? |

Dear Tman_88, Good Afternoon. I suggest you to use Data Validation creating some Dependent Lists. At almost all cases it´s simple to apply this. Take a look at:H:\planilhas\Excel Data Validation -...With INDEX.htm Have a nice day.

Sorry about the link. It was my fault. Link Ok now:http://www.contextures.com/xlDataVal02.html You said:"I know how to make this work using the IF function but I cant figure out how to add more than one answer" Dependent list is the way to add more than one answer DEPENDING to the previous choice thru your validation box. If you send your worksheet it will be very easier to understand your doubt I´m waiting to receive your worksheet.
