Hi,
I'm wondering if some kind person might be able to help with a problem
I have in putting together the correct "IF" statement. I'll try and be
as clear as possible (what I'm actually trying to accmplish is pretty
simple - but I can't get the formula right):

(a) Column A has numbers
(b) Column B has numbers

In the calculation column (say, column C will do!) I want it to look at
a few conditions, and if met, put a word in that column (say, "fish"!)

Let's start down the list a little way in cell C6, because it refers
back to 5 numbers in column B and 1 number in column C.

Okay, these are the simple conditions: (remember, we're starting in
cell C6)

(1) If B6 is greater than B5
(2) And B6 is also greater than A5 (next door)
(2) And B6 is also less than B4, less than B3, less than B2 and less
than B1

Then put the word "FISH" there.

I do not want it to put anything if those conditions are not met.

Does anyone know how to write the correct IF statement to do this?

(Please note: if it MUST say something when the conditions are not met,
I can live with that).

Thanking you heaps,
Steve
