text IF
I want to use text as a logical in an IF formula which I am sure you must be
ablr to do but I can't seem to figure it out. For example if D19 is sch, i want E19 to = liz but if D19 is TCh i want E19 to = lex or if D19 is POS then E19 = mav etc. Please can someone help me? |

One way:
=IF(D19="sch","liz",IF(D19="TCh","lex",IF(D19="POS ","mav","other"))) However, you're limited to 7 levels of nesting pre-XL07. You may do better with a lookup. For instance: J K 1 sch liz 2 TCh lex 3 POS mav Then use the formula =VLOOKUP(D19,J:K,2,FALSE) or, if it's possible that D19 has a value not in the table: =IF(ISNA(VLOOKUP(D19,J:K,2,FALSE)),"other",VLOOKUP (D19,J:K,2,FALSE) In article , Be18 wrote: I want to use text as a logical in an IF formula which I am sure you must be ablr to do but I can't seem to figure it out.

Thanks for your reply. My formula looks like the first one, as i only have
five, however when i click out of the box it doesn't calculate and i can still see the formula! Any extra help?
