Conditional IF statements
 
Hi All,

Please help!!

My problem is the following:

I have text in a column like this

A1
BTEC National Diploma
AS Economics
GCSE Maths

What I would like to happen in the next column is a formula like the
following:

IF A1 = "BTEC National" then A2 = 1
ELSE
IF A1 = "AS" then A2 = 2
ELSE
IF A1 = "GCSE" then A2 = 3

I am a little stumped as to how achieve this. Any ideas?

Thank you in advance!

Mary.

Hi Mary,

Try this one. Write this formula at cell A2


=IF(A1="BTEC National",1,IF(A1="AS",2,IF(A1="GCSE",3,"")))


Hope that helps.

Thankyou,
Shail

Hi,

Thanks for the suggestion. However, it did not work as A2 was blank. Any
other ideas?

Hi Mary,
It does work. Enter the formula into cell A2. A2 will then be blank. Now
enter BTEC into A1 and A2 will return 1. Similarly in A1, AS returns 2 and
GCSE returns 3 in A2.

Alan.

Better tackled with VLookup.

Create a 2 column array somewhere on your sheet like this

Btec national 1
AS Economics 2
GCE maths 3

An put this formula =VLOOKUP(A1,H1:I3,2,FALSE) in B2
in the above case the array is in columns H & I rows 1 to 3. Adjust to suit.
