If statement
 

I'm trying to create an if statement with multiple values but it
doesn't seem to be working.

ie...I have a column that has different values (1,2,3,4,5). 1=daily,
2=weekly, 3=monthly, 4= quartely and 6=annually. I would like to have
another cell with the associate value. So, if a1=1 then daily, if a1=2
then weekly, if a1=3 then monthly, etc...

How would I do this?

If statement
 

=CHOOSE(A1,"daily","weekly","monthly","quarterly", "annually")

Thanks, that worked.

What do I do if I have a 0 in my 1st column since it seems that the
choose function starts at 1?

If statement
 

=IF(A1=0,"",CHOOSE(A1,etc

I tried that but it didn't work. I showed my field with "0" as
"value##"

If statement
 

What do you mean? If the cell is zero that formula will return a blank cell
and what does "it didn't work" means?

That one returned "#N/A".

BTW, I'm using excel 97

When I put in the =if(A1=0,"", choose, etc)....I received a return of
"#value!"
not a blank cell.

Which one? Of what?

PLEASE remember to include sufficient text from the message to which you are

I use '97 as well and it works fine for me.........perhaps your cell is not
empty, but may contain a space...........

Not if you use

=IF(A1=0,"",CHOOSE(A1,"daily","weekly","monthly"," quarterly","annually"))

I don't understand why you would change my formula and use "0" instead?
Where did I put those
quotes?

Then cell A1 doesn't contain the numerical value 0. It may be text that
looks like 0, or something else, but it isn't the numerical value 0.

This is exactly what my formula looks like:

=IF(Q2=0,"",CHOOSE(Q2,"Weekly","Monthly","Quarterl y","Every Four
Months","Semi Annually","Annually"))

Q2 is the field in my worksheet that I'm referencing to.

....

Picky: given all the other messages in this thread, it's nearly
certain the OP's A1 cell contains text rather than a numeric 0 or
nothing at all. However, if the cell contained a very small negative
numeric value, so small that it would display as 0, that would also
cause the LOOKUP formula to return #N/A.

Try changing this to

=IF(N(Q2)=0,"",CHOOSE(Q2,"Weekly","Monthly","Quart erly",
"Every Four Months","Semi Annually","Annually"))

It's working. There was an extra space in the cells.


Thanks everyone for your help.

If this applies, as an added precaution, you might want to use Data
Validation to limit the choices of what can be entered in cell Q2 to 1 to 6
(right now you have 6 choices) or whatever highest number applies. Depending
on your preference or personality, this might be totally unnecessary.

Since CHOOSE only uses values from 1 to 254, it seems the number 0 shouldn't
be included among your choices.
