formula
I am trying to write a formula that will look at another cell and populate an
answer depending on what is in the other cell. For instance: in cell D28 is either a number from 1 to 10 or the letters TBD. I want excel to look at that cell and if the number is from 8 - 10 I want it to populate "Successful" in cell D29 if the number in D28 is between 6 - 7.9 I want it to populuate "Needs Improvement" in cell D29 if the number in D28 is less than 6 I want it to populate "Unsuccessful" in cell D29 If it states TBD in cell D28 I want it to populate TBD in cell D29 I was successful in writing the formula for the range of numbers, but the twist seems to be the TBD part. So far my formala is like this: =IF(D148,"Successful",IF(D146,"Needs Improvement",IF(D140,"Unsuccessful"))) Any suggestions on adding the TBD part to this formula? Thanks |

Thanks Bernie, this did work, but can you explain what the first part of the
formula you typed in is doing? I am referring to the =IF(D14<"", Thanks!

formula
Kris,
It checks to see if the cell is blank, and if it isn't, it checks for the other values - if it is blank, it returns a blank. There are other checks that you could add - for example, if you mis-type TBD as TDB, you will get "Successful" - so you could add a check for that as well: =IF(D14<"", IF(D14="TBD","TBD",IF(NOT(ISNUMBER(D14)),"Invalid String",IF(D148,"Successful",IF(D146,"Needs Improvement",IF(D140,"Unsuccessful","Invalid Number"))))),"") HTH, Bernie MS Excel MVP "Kris" wrote in message ...

ok, that helps, but let me add another twist to it.
Suppose I only want it to calculate "Successful" if the value is between 8 and 10, if someone types in any value over 10, I want it to show invalid, can I add this as well?

Of course! Like so:
=IF(D14<"", IF(D14="TBD","TBD",IF(NOT(ISNUMBER(D14)),"Invalid String",IF(D1410,"Too High!",IF(D148,"Successful",IF(D146,"Needs Improvement",IF(D140,"Unsuccessful","Too low!")))))),"") HTH, Bernie MS Excel MVP "Kris" wrote in message ... ok, that helps, but let me add another twist to it.
