Formulas IF()
trying to use IF formula on column A1:A10 "office supplies" , "janitor supplies" etc. On column D1:D10 needs to be corresponding codes from A1:A10. I have tried IF(A1:A10="office supplies",D1:D10=6999) it will work but A1:A10 are not always office supplies. How do i add more items to correspond to their own codes? What should i type in Value_if_false? Should I be use formula IF at all? Here is the formula IF(A1:A10="office supplies",6999) -- tonyk ------------------------------------------------------------------------ tonyk's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...o&userid=35088 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=548482 |

Formulas IF()
Hi Tony,
For this sort of thing, you'd be better of using a lookup table in conjunction with one of Excel's lookup functions - LOOKUP, VLOOKUP or HLOOKUP.

hi,
the if formula reads...if then else so your formula should be.. =IF(A1:A10="office supplies",6999,0) if office supplies then 6999 else 0. you can string 7 ifs in the formula by simply placing another if in the place of the 0. =IF(A1:A10="office supplies",6999,if(janitoral,janitor code,if(widgets, widget code,0))) and so on. hope this helped. regards FSt1 "tonyk" wrote: trying to use IF formula on column A1:A10 "office supplies" , "janitor supplies" etc. On column D1:D10 needs to be corresponding codes from A1:A10.
