Default Issue with selection boxes and if statements


Hi Guys, can anyone help me with this i'm sure the solution ain't to
bad.

I'm trying to use a selection box and from that use an if formula t
return a certain value depending on what's selected in the selectio
box, the problem is i can't point the if statement to a cel as its
selection and i don't know how to get it to look at the selection box
Any ideas?

If the selection box is data validation, just refer to the cell of the DV.

If it is forms dropdown, right-click the object, select Format Control, and
on the Control tab, set the cell link, that refer to that cell.

Link the selection box to a cell using its properties. then your formula
can look at the cell.
