Hello-

I need to write a statement similar to:

IF (F2 = 4 AND J2 = 4) then AA2 = "Northwest" else AA2 leave at whatever
value is currently there (no change)

IF (F2 <=2 AND J2 =4) then AA2 = "Northeast" else AA2 leave at whatever
value is currently there (no change)

How do I do this in excel?
Thank you so much

This can not be done with a formula, unless it resides in AA2. But then it
can't leave whatever AA2 value it has, because AA2 contains this formula,
not a value.

So you need a VBA macro to do this. My question is, before writing a
suggestion: When do you want this action to happen, and how does the values
change in F2 and J2 ?

Thank you for your reply-

When do I want this action to happen? Whatever is easiest - at open or with
a button or key.

I have a spreadsheet that is filled out. I need to make a matrix with nine
conditions. I have 2 columns with this data. It gets updated once a month or
so.

I wrote an earlier question to this group (search on "Need a MATRIX
diagram") that explains what I wanted to do. It didn't look do-able, so I'm
trying a different tack.

I'm needing the correlation between the 2 columns.

I hope this explains things - again I really appreciate your help.

I see.
I beluieve I'd approach that task with a formula like this in a spare
column:
=CHOOSE(F2,"C","C","B","A","A")&CHOOSE(J2,"C","C", "B","A","A")
it says C for 1 and 2, B for 3 and A for 4 and 5, and it's returning AA, CB,
AB, ... suitable for pivoting and subtotalling.

As for the VBA macro solution in mention, open the VB editor (Alt F11 or
similar), insert a module by menu Insert - Module. Paste this text into the
module:

Sub LoopSample()
Dim R As Long 'row number
For R = 2 To 500
If Cells(R, 6).Value = 4 Then
If Cells(R, 10) = 4 Then
Cells(R, 27).Value = "Northwest"
End If
End If
Next R
End Sub

Return to Excel and run it from the Tools - Macro - Run menu. Or put some
object onto your worksheet either from the Forms toolbar or the Drawing
toolbar, then rightclick it, select "assign macro" and assign the macro
LoopSample. Now the code runs when you click this object.

saved me much time.
