I would like to copy a date from one cell to another cell
I have a Spreadsheet which contains Weekly Dates from Cell E2 thru AJ2.
If I place an "X" in any of the Cells below these Cells I would like to copy the date to Column D corrisponding to the Row which has the "X" in it. i.e. If Cell G5 has an "X" in it I would like to copy the date in G3 (11/7/2008) to Cell D5 (7-Nov-2008) Is there a standard formular or function to do this? If not could you lead me down the right path? |

You either have 0 X's or exactly 1 X' in each row of columns E:AJ?
If yes, then you could use a formula like: =SUMIF(E3:AJ3,"x",$E$2:$AJ$2) And format the results as a date (d-mmm-yyyy) But you'll see 0 (0-Jan-1900) if there are no X's and you'll be adding the dates if there are more than 1 X. I'd use something like: =IF(COUNTIF(E3:AJ3,"X")=0,"", IF(COUNTIF(E3:AJ3,"x")1,"Too many X's", SUMIF(E3:AJ3,"x",$E$2:$AJ$2))) The cell will appear empty if there are no x's and give a warning if there is more than a single X.

Please clarify. Give us a better idea of what is in the worksheet (just
enough rows and columns for us to get the picture). Are the dates in E2:AJ2 or E2:AJ(N) where N 2? In your example, could the X by in G10 and you want date from G8? Or should the example read: i.e. If Cell G5 has an "X" in it I would like to copy the date in G2 (NOT G3)? I will assume this to be true Then in D5 use =SUMPRODUCT(--(E5:AJ5="X"),$E$2:$AJ$2) copy this to other D cells as needed It will work if there is only one X in a row You will need to format D5 first as it will display a serial number like 39449 best wishes best wishes -- Bernard V Liengme Microsoft Excel MVP http://people.stfx.ca/bliengme remove caps from email "Dr. Darrell" wrote in message ...

Thank you, I have inserted the first formula and it works very well.
