Can you nest a MID function within a IF function in Excel
My formula for a worksheet is ="2/99/-4/-" &
IF(MID($C$8,7,1)=1,8,MID($C$8,4,1)) & "/980120", where C8 value is 2/02/-1/825100. Cell returns 2 and not 8 as I had hoped. Any ideas? |

Hi Dawn-Anne,
You need to test for a string when using MID ="2/99/-4/-"&IF(MID($C$8,7,1)="1",8,MID($C$8,4,1))&"/980120" -- HTH RP (remove nothere from the email address if mailing direct) "Dawn-Anne" wrote in message ...
