IF statement does not work with "=" sign
I have a simple if statement:
=IF(B42=B44,"Balanced","Not Balanced") B42 and B44 are exactly the same dollar amount but it says "not balanced". Both b42 and b44 are formatted as dollar amounts. The cell in question with this statement is formatted as 'general'. I tried using other cells etc. I used a 'watch' window and it stated the values of B42 and B44 as the same. Thanks Bill |

They may appear the same but if they have been calculated they not match
exactly. If they are dollar amounts (no cents) try: If (int(b42)=int(b44),"Balanced","Not balanced") or If (Round(b42,0)=round((b44,0),"Balanced","Not balanced") If cents required, multiply by 100.

If a dollar amount, more probably
