using text in an if function
I am trying to make a formula that will take the value in one cell and place
a value in another cell. ex a1=shop then a2 would = 85 but if a1 = on site then a2 would = 95. When I try this I get a #name? error. Can any one help this beginner? |

Brent,
if you're just trying to type this formula into a cell, then the text values have to be inside inverted commas, otherwise Excel assumes you're referring to a named range. =IF(A1="shop",85,0) Cheers, Pete.

=(A1="shop")*85+(A1="site")*95
You are getting an error probably because you need the double quotes. -- Gary''s Student "Brent" wrote: I am trying to make a formula that will take the value in one cell and place a value in another cell. ex a1=shop then a2 would = 85 but if a1 = on site then a2 would = 95.
