How to replace a cell if value is alphabetic
I have this chart where I need to combine the contents of 2 cells - A & C -
But if A is alphabetic I need it to combine B & D instead. Any good ideas? A B C D WC1 406 20062442 93082813 |
How to replace a cell if value is alphabetic
Hi
Presuming by 'combine' you mean add, you could try something like this: =IF(ISTEXT(A1),B2+D2,A2+C2) Hope this helps. Andy. "Hejde" wrote in message ...

How to replace a cell if value is alphabetic
Hi Andy
No, I mean combine :o) What I have done is this simple formula: =A1&"-"&C1 - The result becomes WC1-20062442 - But as I wrote in my inicial message, if A is alphabetic I need it to combine B & D instead. Do you know how to do that? Thanks :o) "Andy" skrev: Hi Presuming by 'combine' you mean add, you could try something like this: =IF(ISTEXT(A1),B2+D2,A2+C2) Hope this helps. Andy.

Sorry!
Try this: =IF(ISTEXT(A1),B2&"-"&D2&"-",A2&"-"&C2&"-") or =IF(ISTEXT(A1),CONCATENATE(B2,"-",D2,"-"),CONCATENATE(A2,"-",C2,"-")) Andy. "Hejde" wrote in message ...
