Default #VALUE! error

Hi...again...Im sure this is really simple....

I've put in a formula:
=IF(I9="y","mm Used This Job"),IF(K9="y","cm Used This Job")

It works fine until the second IF, then I keep getting a #VALUE! regardless
whether the letter 'y' is in the relevant cell.

Any ideas?

Maybe you meant to do this:
=IF(I9="y","mm Used This Job",IF(K9="y","cm Used This Job",""))

Try it this way:

=IF(I9="y","mm Used This Job",IF(K9="y","cm Used This Job",""))

You'll get a blank if neither of the cells contain a y.

Hope this helps.
