How do I test a condition in one cell and write to another.
I would like to test a condition in a cell and then write something in
another cell. For Example my If statement is in cell d23 and this is what I want to do: If c23=#VALUE! then b23=0. Is this possible. |

No, not possible. A formula in one cell cannot place it's results in a
different cell. Why not just place the formula in cell B23? Or, if B23 already contains a formula, just incorporate this into it. Something like: =IF(ISERROR(C23),0,YourFormula) HTH Elkar "dorf" wrote: I would like to test a condition in a cell and then write something in another cell.

You cannot write to another cell using a formula.
You have to have the formula in B23 =IF(ISERROR(C23,0,"whatever") The only way to write to a cell without a formula is through VBA Do you want to go that route via sheet event code? Private Sub Worksheet_Calculate() On Error GoTo stoppit Application.EnableEvents = False With Me.Range("C23") If IsError(.Value) Then Me.Range("B23").Value = 0 Else: Me.Range("B23").Value = "whatever" End If End With stoppit: Application.EnableEvents = True End Sub Gord Dibben MS Excel MVP On Mon, 18 May 2009 15:40:01 -0700, dorf wrote: I would like to test a condition in a cell and then write something in another cell.
