If...and... - can never get the syntax correct!
Howdie Spreadsheet 1 columns and 2 rows. In A2, either a yes or no In A3 either a yes or no I need to put in A4 formulae that will tell me: If a2 = a3 are equal,put "okay". If a2 = No, and a3 = yes, Put "problem" If a2 = Yes and a3 = No, put "okay" Thanks so much D *** Sent via Developersdex http://www.developersdex.com *** Don't just participate in USENET...get rewarded for it! |

Hi Julie,
The not sure condition can never be met as stated by OP, you just need =IF(OR(A2=A3,AND(A2="Yes",A3="No")),"okay","proble m") -- HTH RP (remove nothere from the email address if mailing direct) "JulieD" wrote in message ... Hi Darin =IF(OR(A2=A3,AND(A2="Yes",A3="No")),"okay",IF(AND( A2="No",A3="Yes"),"problem ","not sure")) Cheers JulieD "Darin Kramer" wrote in message ... Howdie Spreadsheet 1 columns and 2 rows.

I don't think it needs to be that complex, as long as A2 and A3 MUST contain
either "Yes" or "No". If A2="Yes" it doesn't matter what's in A3.

if one of A2 or A3 DOESN'T contain either Yes or No and the one other does,
you get a false result .... can we "assume" that both will be filled with only these values? - maybe the OPs cells to check at BA23 and AL1245 ... and they want to know the result in A1. anyway, the OP can choose which one to use "Charlie" wrote in message ...

Hi Bob
the "not sure" condition can be met under the following circumstances AND(A2="No", A3="") AND(A2="No",A3="Yes ") AND(A2=" ",A3="No") etc .... as we don't know the "real" range that the OP is going to apply the solution to i thought it prudent to check that they only get the requested result when the data matches what they asked for. anyway the OP can decide which formula to use :) Cheers JulieD "Bob Phillips" wrote in message ...

Hi Judie,
"JulieD" wrote in message ... the "not sure" condition can be met under the following circumstances AND(A2="No", A3="") AND(A2="No",A3="Yes ") AND(A2=" ",A3="No") as I said, as stated by the OP ... In A2, either a yes or no In A3 either a yes or no anyway the OP can decide which formula to use :) Well, he has few choices :-) |
