ExcelBanter - Fun newbie stuff

Howdy, boys and girls...

This is my first venture into VB programming in Excel, and I think i
is safe to say i'm a novice at the whole VB programming dealy-o.

That said,

I have a program that should be a fairly straightforward translation t
use in excel but I don't exactly know the best approach... that being
Macro? VB? export to Access and do it there? Here is my desi

I have a field in an excel spreadsheet that I need to check and chang
the value of for each row, depending on the content in certain othe
fields in that row. For example, here is the code I am trying t
convert:

IF PPO EQ 'R' THEN 'REV' ELSE
IF PROCDATEA GE '200107' AND ADJCODE EQ '1' OR '3'
AND CHARGES LT .00 THEN 'REV' ELSE
IF PROCDATEA GE '200107' AND ADJCODE EQ '1' OR '3'
AND CHARGES GE .00 THEN 'NEW' ELSE

IF PROCDATEA GE '200107' AND ADJCODE EQ '4'
AND CHARGES GE .00 THEN 'REV' ELSE

IF PROCDATEA GE '200107' AND ADJCODE EQ '4'
AND CHARGES LT .00 THEN 'NEW' ELSE

IF PROCDATEA LT '200107' AND ADJCODE EQ '0' OR '3'
AND CHARGES LT .00 THEN 'REV' ELSE

IF PROCDATEA LT '200107' AND ADJCODE EQ '0' OR '3'
AND CHARGES GE .00 THEN 'NEW' ELSE

IF PROCDATEA LT '200107' AND ADJCODE EQ '1'
AND CHARGES GE .00 THEN 'REV' ELSE

IF PROCDATEA LT '200107' AND ADJCODE EQ '1'
AND CHARGES LE .00 THEN 'NEW' ELSE

IF CHARGES GE .00 THEN 'NEW' ELSE 'REV

where "PROCDATEA", "ADJCODE", CHARGES" etc are all column headers.

I would need this function to check every line in the spreadsheet...

Should I translate this into a formula? A macro? hmmmmm? If a formula
could you provide a gentle prodding in the correct formatting?

thanks in advance for your suggestions..
