IF STATEMENT PROBLEM
Hi Guys
I am quite new to IF Statements, but I have been thrown into a deep end. I want three different values in cells in a column. My problem is that I can get true or false values but I can't leave the cell blank if there is no data in cells A1 and B1. The function that I want is that if cells A1 and B1 have values then D1=Sum(A1:B1) and Cell C1 then dispalys either Y, P or N, which I want and got it right. If there are no values in Cells A1 and B1 then I am getting Y or False in Cell C1 but I want it to be left blank. The statement looks something like this: =IF(D1=(A1+B1),"Y",IF(D1<1,"N",IF(D1<(A1+B1),"P") )) Please Help!!!! |

Isn't it just:
=IF(D1=(A1+B1),"Y",IF(D1<1,"N","P")) "Manjit Gosal" wrote: Hi Guys I am quite new to IF Statements, but I have been thrown into a deep end. I want three different values in cells in a column.

Your problem is that D1=(A1+B1) treats A1 and B1 as 0 if there is no value
in them. If A1 and B1 is blank, then you will get Y (or true) for any postive value in D1. I think you need another if statement. like this. =IF(A1+B1=0,"",IF(D1=(A1+B1),"Y",IF(D1<1,"N",IF(D 1<(A1+B1),"P"))) "Manjit Gosal" wrote: Hi Guys I am quite new to IF Statements, but I have been thrown into a deep end.

Yes! It is just that but still can't leave cell C1 Blank.

IF STATEMENT PROBLEM
Thanks a lot to both of you. You both were right but didn't get blank cell
still, but by mixing the two statements i.e. putting bits from both your statements I eventually got it right. This is how it looks now: =IF(A1+B1=0,"",IF(D1=(A1+B1),"Y",IF(D1<1,"N","P") )) Thanks again "Manjit Gosal" wrote in message ...
