how do I insert a function that chooses between two text values?
I'm trying to create a link between worksheets that chooses between two
values in two different cells, and chooses one of them. What function, if any, could I use? |

Without knowing what your selection criteria is, it is difficult to answer,
but for example if you are looking for a maximum something like =MAX(Sheet2!A1,Sheet3!A1) would work "Gailwdz" wrote: I'm trying to create a link between worksheets that chooses between two values in two different cells, and chooses one of them. What function, if any, could I use? |

Sounds like IF
=IF(Sheet1!A1="A", A1,B1) -- HTH Bob Phillips "Gailwdz" wrote in message ... I'm trying to create a link between worksheets that chooses between two values in two different cells, and chooses one of them. What function, if any, could I use? |

Thank you. It did help, but I think I need a nested formula. My data looks a
little like this: US Received Competent Moderated Verified 114943 R C M V R C M What I'm trying to do is determine at which stage the US is at. Example - the unit standard has been received and marked competent, but has not been verified yet - then the formula must determine that the cell marked V is empty, and then determine whether the cell marked M is empty or not, and so on. The formula should also check the columns from right to left, to see at what stage the unit standard is at, at present. I hope that's not as confusing to you as it sounds to me!

try
=if(verified="V","V",if(moderated="M","M",if(compe tent="C","C",if(received="R","R","")))) where verified is the appropriate cell in the "Verified"column, etc. "Gailwdz" wrote: Thank you.
