Don't forget that any string, including your null string, evaluates to
greater than any number, so ""=42 is TRUE. Perhaps you want your conditions in the opposite order? Try changing =IF(AF2=42,AA2&""&"x",IF(AF2="","",AA2)) to =IF(AF2="","",IF(AF2=42,AA2&""&"x",AA2)) -- David Biddulph "bill gras" wrote in message ...
