If statement that returns data in a cell if False.
I have an If statement that reads '=IF(B2="Y","","=B1").
This function is repeated many times, referencing a different cell each time in the spreadsheet. At the moment the text '=B1' (or equivalent) is entered into the cell if the function returns False. How do I alter the If statement so that the information in cell B1 (not the reference point) is inserted each time the function returns False. -- Thank you, Colin. |

The reason why you are getting =B1 is that you have enclosed that in quotes,
so that is the text string you've asked for. If you want the value from B1, then your formula should be =IF(B2="Y","",B1). -- David Biddulph "Colin" wrote in message ...

I had tried without the quotes, however I had left in the equal sign.
