Using if/then functions in Excel
I'm new to functions... How do I write the function "If cell D3 has any
character in it, then cell D4 = 1. If it has no characters, cell D4 = 0" How about "If cell D3 has the word 'truck' in it, then cell D4 = 1" Lastly, if I have a column of words such as car, truck, car, bus, bus, can I somehow total the number of times "car" and "truck" appeared in the column? Thanks, Gary |

Using if/then functions in Excel
I'm new to functions... How do I write the function "If cell D3 has any character in it, then cell D4 = 1. If it has no characters, cell D4 = 0" Put this formula in D4 =IF(D3<"",1,0) How about "If cell D3 has the word 'truck' in it, then cell D4 = 1" Put this in D4 =if(D3="truck",1) Lastly, if I have a column of words such as car, truck, car, bus, bus, can I somehow total the number of times "car" and "truck" appeared in the column? Look for COUNTIF in help. You should be able to do it.. - Murthy |

Using if/then functions in Excel
I'm new to functions... How do I write the function "If cell D3 has any character in it, then cell D4 = 1. If it has no characters, cell D4 = 0" Write in D4: =IF(ISBLANK(D3),0,1) How about "If cell D3 has the word 'truck' in it, then cell D4 = 1" Write in D4: =IF(D3="truck",1,"otherwise") Lastly, if I have a column of words such as car, truck, car, bus, bus, can I somehow total the number of times "car" and "truck" appeared in the column? Write anywhe =COUNTIF(D:D,"car") Regards, Stefi |
