For some reason my comparison operators aren't working in my
spreadsheets and I can't figure out why. I think this worked on another PC. What I want to do is have a row that increments a value if the entries are the same - really simple - Lets assume all the values in the A row are below: A B 1 - TTTT 0 2 - TTUU Formula Below 3 - TTUU 4 - VVVV 5 - WWW 6 - WWW In the B row I set B1 to zero and then type the following in cell 2: =IF(A2=A1,B1+0,B1+1) So if A2 (TTUU) is equivalent to A1 (TTTT) then don't increment, if it's false then it's a new record so increment. The result is that the above should put out the following in the B row - 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 3. It works on the first statement and everything else stays the same - 0, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1.. =IF(A11=A10,(B10+0),(B10+1)) Even putting the addition in parenthesis doesn't change the effect. =IF(G2<G1,"A","B") This always yields "A" no matter what values are in the G column. It increments the first time and never does again. What is wrong? |
