What's wrong with this IF?
 

=IF(H2="PM01","Emergency Works",IF(H2="PM02","Routine Works",IF(H2=PM03,"Pre Planned Maintenance")))

Column H can only contain either of PM01, PM02 or PM03. I want Column I to show the above values for each option.

It works for both PM01 & PM02 but I'm just getting #NAME? for PM03.



Thanks in advance.

Never mind. Realised my mistake. No "" for PM03.

Rookie mistake!

With only the three possible values, you could have shortened the formula to...

=IF(H2="PM01","Emergency Works",IF(H2="PM02","Routine Works","Pre Planned Maintenance"))
:)

Yeah I know that sort of thing is possible but just didn't know how.

Now I do.

Cheers

Hi

Try this

=IF(H2="","",IF(H2="PM01","Emergency Works",IF(H2="PM02","Routine
Works","Pre Planned Maintenance")))

This takes into account a 4th condition being that H2 is blank.

HTH

Erata.

Try this instead as the previous left the 3rd condition open and allowed
for any value to be entered for it...

=IF(H2="PM01","Emergency Works",IF(H2="PM02","Routine
Works",IF(H2="PM03","Pre Planned Maintenance","")))
