Default Multi-Format IF Statement

I have multiple IF statement connected with the + sign in which the results
are either a number or a statement. An example of a statement with a text
string would be:
+IF(A36="na","not incl",0). When I try running the statement, it will not
show the text string. My first thought was that I couldn't mix number results
with text results. Is there a solution? Any help would be appreciated. Thank
You, JAD

Excel uses the equal [=] sign. Lotus used the [+]. change your + to = and
see if it works.

Without seeing what's in A36, my guess would be:
=IF(ISNA(A36),"not incl",0)
because if you see #N/A in A36, that's not the same as "na"
