In excel:

Inputs:
C8-- button can change value to 1 or 0
C9-- =A3 (which can either be a 1 or 0)

Output:
C10-- =IF(C8=1,0,IF(C9=1,1,0))

Dilemma:
When C10 is equal to 1, I want D10 to read "LATCHED". However, when C10
turns back into a 0 by changing the inputs, I want D10 to still read
"LATCHED". I want to be able to do this without buttons, requiring the use of
Worksheet_Change or something manner which I have no idea about.

Thanks in advance!

Begin with opening the VBE by pressing ALT +F11 on the left hand side select
VBA Project(book1) or whatever your project is called select the plus sign
file tree thing then Microsoft excel object then sheet one on the top of the
VBE there will be two drop downs The on e that says (General) select
Worksheet. Delete everything there and paste this in

Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)
Dim OutRng As Range
Dim InRng As Range
Set OutRng = Range("D10")
Set InRng = Range("c10")

If InRng.Value = "1" Then
OutRng.Value = "Latched"
ElseIf InRng = "0" Then
OutRng.Value = "UnLatched" '<-- Change
End If
End Sub

You don't need VBA. You can do it with a circular reference formula. (A
circular reference is a formula that refers to the same cell that contains
the formula.) Use the following in D10:

=IF(C10=1,"Latched",D10)

If C10 is any value other than 1, D10 will be 0. If C10 equals 1, D10 will
be "Latched". Now, if C10 is changed back to 0, D10 will retain the
"Latched" value. To use circular references, you need to go to the Tools
menu, choose Options, then the Calculation tab. There, check the
"Iterations" box.

without a more detailed description of your conditions, it's difficult
to help. However, it seems like you could accomplish what you are
describing by adding AND conditions to your IF statement. Basically,
this would simply require more than 1 condition to be true before
something changed.

What I am trying to do is simulate some electronics logic through excel.

Inputs:
C8: comes from a button I created; the button gives the cell a value of 1 or
0. When the button is pressed, it changes the value of the cell from a 1 to a
0 or a 0 to a 1. When there is a value of 1, the word "UNLATCHED" appears
right next to the button. When there is a value of 0, the cell becomes blank.

C9: comes from the output of another card; this cell holds a value of either
a 1 or a 0

Output:
C10: =IF(C8=1,0,IF(C9=1,1,0))

For example:
If at any time C8=1 (from the button), the C10 will have a value of 0. The
word "UNLATCHED" will be under the button. The word "LATCHED" will not be
present in D10.

When the button is pressed, C8 goes to 0. "UNLATCHED" disappears. If C9 is
0, nothing happens. "LATCHED" is not present as well.

When C9 is 1, C10 has a value of 1 and the word "LATCHED" appears in D10.

Next, when C9 goes back to 0, C10 goes back to 0, but the word "LATCHED" is
still present.

Finally, when the button is pressed to give C8 the value of 1, C10 has a
value of 0, "LATCHED disappears, and "UNLATCHED" reappears underneath the
button.

Hope this helps.

Let me see if I can make it abit clearer. What I am trying to do is simulate
some electronic stuff through excel.

Inputs:
C8: I created a button that changes the value of the cell from 0 to 1. When
the value is 1, the world "UNLATCHED" appears below the button in let's say
F22 (whereever I put the button)

C9: The value of this cell comes from another cell. This too, can either be
a 1 or 0 depending on the other cell.

Ouputs:
C10: =IF(C8=1,0,IF(C9=1,1,0))

What exactly I am looking for:

1. At any time when the value of C8 is 1, C10 will always be 0. The word
"UNLATCHED" will be located under the button.

2. When the button is pressed, the value of C8 is 0. C10 is still 0. The
word "UNLATCHED" is not present anymore.

3. When C9 has a value of 1, C10 will now be 1. The word "LATCHED" will be
located in D10.

4. One of two things can happen:
a. When C9 goes back to 0, the value of C10 will be 0. The word "LATCHED"
however remains present.

b. Or, if the button is pressed, C8 becomes 1. "LATCHED" disappears from D10
and "UNLATCHED" appears under the button.

5. 4b doesn't matter since repeats all the previous steps. Once 4a is
complete though, if I were to press the button, 4b would commence.

Hope this clarifies.
