complex IF statement
Hello.
In cell $E$70 I have a data validation drop down list which allows the user to select a percentage between 0% and 10%. I am trying to get cell $D$70 to read "Product Subtotal at 1% discount" when cell $E$70 is 1%, "Product Subtotal at 2% discount" when cell $E$70 is 2%" etc. I tried using an IF statement, however as you know, it caps out at 7 IF arguments. I need 10 arguments and then just "Product Subtotal" when 0% is selected. Does anyone know how to get around the 7 argument problem? Thanks in advance -- Cathy |

complex IF statement
You can use concatenation with only one IF like this:
="Product Subtotal"&IF($E$700," at "&$E$70*100&"% discount","") "cathy" wrote in message ... Hello.

Using the TEXT function would work great too using it that way:
="Product Subtotal"&IF($E$700," at "&TEXT($E$70,"0%")&" discount","") "cathy" wrote in message ... Both answers were VERY helpful!!! I wound up using this one. It worked GREAT!!!

D70: ="Product Subtotal at " & TEXT($E$70,"0%") & " discount" In article , cathy wrote: Hello.
