easy, but the chanllange comes when some of the cells in b contain the
word "Leave". How do i add the second bit in the formula

thanks for the help

=if(b1="leave",a1,b1)

or maybe...

=if(or(b10,b1="Leave"),b1,a1)

I assume you currently have:
=IF(B10,B1,A1)

Change it to:
=IF(AND(B10,B1<"Leave"),B1,A1)
