Default How do I make 1 = "yes"?

Hi Chuck,

Not that I know of, at least not with 3 other conditions.
Normally the format code is divided into three zones: one each for positive, negative, zero, text.
But if you use it for self-defined conditions, I have not found a way to have 3 conditions and an ELSE branch.

Maybe someone else?

| [=1]"yes";[=2]"Not enough info";"no"
