Need help with "if" function in Excel
 

I am trying to set up a spreadsheet and Need to put in the following function:

If a cell says "yes" I need to add a dollar amount and if it is "no" I add
nothing. Could someone please give me some VERY easy to understand
instructions on how to put these formulas in?

Need help with "if" function in Excel
 

Maybe try something like this in C2:
=IF(A2="Yes",B2+10,IF(A2="No",B2,""))

where A2 will house the text: Yes, No, etc ...
and B2 contains a value for which the fixed amount of 10 is to be added

I've presumed that if A2 is either cleared, or contains something other than
"Yes" or "No", nothing is to appear in C2

Adapt to suit ..
