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. -- Message posted via OfficeKB.com http://www.officekb.com/Uwe/Forums.a...tions/200701/1 |

In A2,
=IF(A1="BTEC",1,IF(A1="AS",2,IF(A1="GCSE",3,""))) Regards, Alan. "sike11 via OfficeKB.com" <u21678@uwe wrote in message news:6c83fbaeba87d@uwe... Hi All, Please help!!

Hi,
Thanks for the suggestion. However, it did not work as A2 was blank. Any other ideas? Alan wrote: In A2, =IF(A1="BTEC",1,IF(A1="AS",2,IF(A1="GCSE",3,"") )) Regards, Alan. Hi All, [quoted text clipped - 23 lines] Mary. -- Message posted via http://www.officekb.com |

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. Regards, Alan.

It's heart-warming to hear that you managed to resolve it all by yourself.
I'm humbly glad to have pointed you in the right direction. Regards, Alan. "sike11 via OfficeKB.com" <u21678@uwe wrote in message news:6c85e2758b90d@uwe... Hi Alan, I have managed to resolve it!!

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 sike11 via OfficeKB.com wrote: Hi All, Please help!!

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. Mike "sike11 via OfficeKB.com" wrote: Hi All, Please help!!
