I am trying to provide a status result in cell A:10, of either A, B, C, D.
When cells A:1 and A:2 have information input into them the result should be "A" in A:10. When cells B:1 and B:2 have information input into them the result should be "B" in A:10. When cells C:1 and C:2 have information input into them the result should be "C" in A:10. When cells D:1 and D:2 have information input into them the result should be "D" in A:10. Can anyone advise? Sorry am new to excel! |

Hi RD,
To answer your question, if all cells are full, then the workflow should indicate "D" status. So, just to recap, IF A1 & A2 full, then A status. IF A3 & A4 full (and A1 & A2 complete also), then status B IF A5 & A6 full ( and A1-A4 complete also), then status is C IF A7 & A8 full ( and A1-A6 complete also), then status is D Basically I am trying to track the status of a document through a workflow. Been trying a nested IF statement, but can not get it to work. =IF(A1 && A2=TRUE,"A"," ",IF (A3 && A4=TRUE,"B"....))))...something like that which I am am trying to achieve! Appreciate your help!

The actual approach will depend on how many statuses you will eventually
have. For the 4 you listed, and with the assumption that you fill down "in order", try something like this: =IF(A8<"","D",IF(A6<"","C",IF(A4<"","B",IF(A2< "","A","")))) If *not* filled in order, try this: =IF(COUNTA(A1:A8)=8,"D",IF(COUNTA(A1:A6)=6,"C",IF( COUNTA(A1:A4)=4,"B",IF(COU NTA(A1:A2)=2,"A","")))) If I assumed incorrectly, post back with an expanded explanation. -- HTH, RD --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Please keep all correspondence within the NewsGroup, so all may benefit ! --------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Steve HKG" wrote in message ...

Hi RD,
You have assumed correctly, the rows must be completed 'in order'. The formula works a treat! Many thanks!

You're welcome ... but you should realize, that by using the IF() function,
you can only nest 7 deep, unless you are using XL07. If you intend going beyond 7, post back for alternative suggestions. -- Regards, RD ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Please keep all correspondence within the Group, so all may benefit ! ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Steve HKG" wrote in message ...
