Why won't this function work?
This function works:
=IF(B71="","",IF(B71<=330,"Standard","Below Standard")) But when I change "330" to "R4" it doesn't work. R4 is a number field that has 330 in it. It doesn't seem to be recognizing the Value_if_False statement. Any number will make it show "Standard." =IF(B71="","",IF(B71<=R4,"Standard","Below Standard")) Your help is appreciated. |

Does R4 contain a formula?
If R4 contains a *text* number and B71 contains a numeric number then B71<=R4 will *always* be TRUE because in Excel text has a higher value than numeric numbers. A1 = X A2 = 1,000,000 =A1A2 = TRUE A1 formatted as TEXT A1 = 1 (a text number) A2 = 1,000,000 =A1A2 = TRUE -- Biff Microsoft Excel MVP "Angelsnecropolis" wrote in message ...

It's likely that the "330" in R4 is text. What formula is used to produce
it? Regards, Fred "Angelsnecropolis" wrote in message ... This function works: =IF(B71="","",IF(B71<=330,"Standard","Below Standard")) But when I change "330" to "R4" it doesn't work.
