IF Statement not working
My formula IF(E5<G5, "Not Equal", "Equal") will only give the message "Not
Equal" even if the values are equal, however if i copy the formula into a new worksheet and the values are equal it will return the Correct value of "Equal". Thanks for your help. |

IF Statement not working
Hi,
If either E5 or G5 is a calculated value, there may be hidden decimals present. ie, the cell may display 123 but the actual value may be 123.000056 Dave.

Thanks for your help. I seem to say this often. Is this a file that was created in a different version of Excel than you currently use? All sorts of stupid things like this happen. Regardless, and you already said this works, the answer is probably: Select All Copy Paste (in new file) |

Have you checked for spaces or other non-printing characters?
Use =LEN(E5) and =LEN(G5) to check whether the string is longer than you expected. -- David Biddulph "Barrett M" wrote in message ... Any Ideas?

IF Statement not working
That was it. E5 is 3 and G5 is 5. Is there a way to add or remove spaces?
