Attempting to Copy a IF Function
I need to know how to cascade a IF formula down that will only change the
first value of the Logical Test and will leave the true and false statements unchanged. Example in the formula =IF(B2 = "080012",H2, H3) I need B2 to update as I cascade (copy) down the spreadsheet but I need H2, H3 to remain unchanged. I am not able to find anything on the website to handle this. Even when I copy and paste it updates all three values and not just the one. Can anyone please help me update the function so that only the Logical Test value changes. -- Andrew Holzman |

Attempting to Copy a IF Function
Try it like this:
=IF(B2="080012",H$2, H$3) The $ keep the rows from changing. You can do the same thing for the columns: =IF(B2="080012",$H2, $H3) The $ keep the colimns from changing. You can also do it for both rows and columns: =IF(B2="080012",$H$2, $H$3) Or, you can even "mix and match": =IF(B2 = "080012",$H2, H$3) -- Biff Microsoft Excel MVP "Andrew Holzman" wrote in message ...
