Syntax For Conditional Formula
HI,
I want to say if L3780 = "applications", then replace it with "Global Trade SV" Since there is a formula in the field, I need to place this as a condition...can anyone help me?? Thanx |
Hi
not sure what you're after here, but a formula can not update another cell -only the cell that the formula is in. what is the formula in L3780 ... maybe we can alter this to show Global Trade SV instead of applications Regards JulieD "Dmorri254" wrote in message ...

hi,
You may write the formula on the next cell as =if(L3780="applications","Global Trade SV",L3780),if you want L3780 there.Otherwise,if you want blank cell,if the condition is not satisfied ,then =(if(l3780="applications","Global trade SV","") "Dmorri254" wrote: HI, I want to say if L3780 = "applications", then replace it with "Global Trade SV" Since there is a formula in the field, I need to place this as a condition...can anyone help me??

Hi,
Let me explain further....L3780 contains this formula: =IF(ISERROR(VLOOKUP(H3780,Tivoli,4,FALSE)),"",MID( VLOOKUP(H3780,Tivoli,4,FALSE),1,15)) What it is doing is looking at another table and bringing me back some text I get form a query...now we are using a different system but I need to merge information form one system into this one...so in order to remain consistant with MY data, I need the word now used for Global Trade SV (applications) to remain Global Trade SV....so this means in relation to the formula in L3780 is this....TIVOLI,4 brings back Global Trade SV....so instead of modifying the formula, I can use a condition that says if applications is returned, replace it with Global Trade SV... Does this help? If the existing formula can be modified then that would be even better...

Hi
try =IF(IF(ISERROR(VLOOKUP(H3780,Tivoli,4,FALSE)),"",M ID(VLOOKUP(H3780,Tivoli,4,FALSE),1,15))="applicati ons","Global Trade SV",IF(ISERROR(VLOOKUP(H3780,Tivoli,4,FALSE)),"",M ID(VLOOKUP(H3780,Tivoli,4,FALSE),1,15))) - i'm thinking that this could be neatened up a bit but as it's 12.45am my brains too asleep to see it :) - let me know how you got with this ...

Hi Julie...
One more question....how can I use the UPPER function to make Global Trade all upper case?? =IF(IF(ISERROR(VLOOKUP(H3780,Tivoli,4,FALSE)),"",M ID(VLOOKUP(H3780,Tivoli,4,FALSE),1,15))="applicati ons","Global Trade",IF(ISERROR(VLOOKUP(H3780,Tivoli,4,FALSE))," ",MID(VLOOKUP(H3780,Tivoli,4,FALSE),1,15))) "JulieD" wrote: Hi David thanks <vbg glad it's solved .. and yep, it's bedtime now :) Cheers JulieD "Dmorri254" wrote in message ...

Hi
maybe an easier option: =IF(IF(ISERROR(VLOOKUP(H3780,Tivoli,4,FALSE)),"",M ID(VLOOKUP(H3780,Tivoli,4,FALSE),1,15))="applicati ons","GLOBAL TRADE SV",IF(ISERROR(VLOOKUP(H3780,Tivoli,4,FALSE)),"",M ID(VLOOKUP(H3780,Tivoli,4,FALSE),1,15))) if you're talking about elsewhere in the workbook then using EDIT / REPLACE is a better option - Find: Global Trade SV Replace with: GLOBAL TRADE SV Cheers JulieD "Dmorri254" wrote in message ...
