Calculation based on lists selected
Hi,
I have validated a cell(Data Validation) where the validation criteria allows a list and the source is 2 cells containing Y, N. Now, depending on the list selected, a formula should be calculated. ie. if Y, (B1+B2)-(A1+A2) if N, (C1+C2)-(A1+A2) I have tried a lot but in vain. Pls help out.

Hi
assuming that your validated cell is A3 and the target cell A4 enter the following in A4: =IF(A3="Y",B1+B2-(A1+A2),IF(A3="N",C1+C2-(A1+A2),"")) HTH Frank Hi, I have validated a cell(Data Validation) where the validation criteria allows a list and the source is 2 cells containing Y, N.

Supriya,
Do you just want a formula? If so, assuming DV is in A1, it is =IF(A1="Y",(B1+B2)-(A1+A2),(C1+C2)-(A1+A2)) -- HTH Bob Phillips ... looking out across Poole Harbour to the Purbecks (remove nothere from the email address if mailing direct) "Supriya " wrote in message ...

Frank,
If using DV, then it can only be Y or N, so the extra N test is superfluous. -- HTH Bob Phillips ... looking out across Poole Harbour to the Purbecks (remove nothere from the email address if mailing direct) "Frank Kabel" wrote in message ...

Bob,
You are right! If there are only only 2 conditions, there is no need to specify th 2nd one. It simplified my formula -- Message posted from http://www.ExcelForum.com |
