I did get a great reply to my problem the other day - but unfortunately
I made a mistake in my explanation :/ - this is the prob:

if anything is in cell A1 AND in cell B1 then show "ok" in cell C1
if anything is in cell A1 and NOT in cell B1 then show "add order" in
cell C1
if nothing is in cell A1 and IS in cell B1 then show "add client" in
cell C1
if nothing is in either cell A1 or B1 then show "add client add order"
in cell C1

thanks again,

Smeeg

One way:

=IF(COUNTA(A1:B1)=0,"ok",TRIM(IF(B1="","","add client") &
IF(A1="",""," add order")))

Oops, had it backwards...

IF(COUNTA(A1:B1)=2,"ok",TRIM(IF(B1="","add client","") & IF(A1="",
"_add order", "")))


where _ is substituted for a space character to avoid unfortunate
linewrap.

Hi

=IF(AND(A1<"",B1<""),"OK",IF(A1="","add client") & IF(AND(A1="",B1=""),"
","")) & IF(B1="","add order"))
, or
=CHOOSE(((A1="")*1+(B1="")*2)+1,"add client","add order","add order add
client","OK")
