Help ('IF' Statements) Please !!
 

Is it possible to use an if statement when the reference
cell is a Text value.

Cell a2 is 'Yes'
If(A2=yes,0,A3)

Help ('IF' Statements) Please !!
 

Yes.

Try:
If(A2="yes",0,A3)

The text you are testing against must either be in quotations or in a cell,
e.g.

In A4 put, Yes, the the formula becomes

If(A2=A4,0,A3)

Hi Craig, you can use IIF or IF as follows.

'-- code -------------------------------
Answer = IIf([A2].Value = "yes", 0, [A3].Value)
MsgBox Answer
'---------------------------------------

'-- code -------------------------------
If [A2].Value = "yes" Then
Answer = 0
Else
Answer = [A3].Value
End If
MsgBox Answer
'---------------------------------------
