Excel interprets Text String as value in logical Argument
I am using the following logical formula in Excel 7 :
=IF(OR(B670,A570,a57=),$B$88,0) I only want to return the value in B88 if B67 or A57 is greater than zero. I assumed that Excel would interpret text as not greater than 0. I was wrong. Excel is interpreting text in A57 as greater than any value that I assign. Can someone give me a workaround for this ? Thanks ! |

Excel interprets Text String as value in logical Argument
Try it like this:
=IF(OR(B670,AND(A570,ISNUMBER(A57))),$B$88,0) -- Max Singapore http://savefile.com/projects/236895 Downloads:22,500 Files:370 Subscribers:66 xdemechanik --- "JonesyE360" wrote: I am using the following logical formula in Excel 7 : =IF(OR(B670,A570,a57=),$B$88,0) I only want to return the value in B88 if B67 or A57 is greater than zero.
