Help with formula
I have searched for this, but can't find it. I am trying to make a formula in conditional formatting to place text in cell E6 based on an IF statement based on text in cell C6. So, if cell C6 has the word "yes" typed in it, then text "complete" will be placed in cell E6. Can you guys help me with how this formula would be written? I have =IF(c6="yes",????

It's not conditional formatting, as you are altering the content of the cell, not its format. In E6, put the formula =IF(C6="yes","complete","not complete") [You can replace "not complete" by whatever you want in E6 if C6 is NOT "yes". Put "" if you want it to be blank in that case.] -- David Biddulph |

Also, conditional formatting will only help you change the formatting of a
cell, not the text in it. You have to put your formula in the cell itself. -- Reply by thread only thanks Allllen "jzzman" wrote: I have searched for this, but can't find it.
