I have 3 cells in a row. We'll call them cell 1, 2 & 3. I need a

formula in
cell 3 that is based on what is in cells 1 and 2. Example:

1 - If there is a letter "A" in cell 1 or 2, then concatenate cells 1

and 2
in cell 3.
2 - If there is number in cell 1 and 2, then sum cells 1 and 2 in cell

3.

Thanks for your help.

If cell 1 is cell A1 and cell 2 is cell A2, try this formula in cell
3:

=IF(OR(A1="A",A2="A"),A1&A2,IF(AND(ISNUMBER(A1),IS NUMBER(A2)),A1+A2,""))

Hope this helps / Lars-Åke




Hi Lars-Ake,

Your formula in cell A3 worked great. Here is another question for you
if you don't mind.

Here is an example:
Cell A1 Cell A2 Cell A3 Cell A4
50 9 9 18 #N/A


I have your formula in cell A3 - In cell A4 I have this formula:
INDEX(Basic_Strategy_Chart!$B$2:$K$41,MATCH(AN9,B asic_Strategy_Chart!$A$2:$A$41,0),MATCH(D9,Basic_S trategy_Chart!$B$1:$K$1,0))

My problem now is I can't figure out why my formula in Cell A4 returns
an N/A result. This happens whenever I have 2 of the same number in A1
and A2. When there are different numbers in A1 and A2, or if there is an
"A" in one of the cells, my formula works great. Can you see a problem,
or do I need to send you my sheet for your review? Let me know. and
thanks for your help.

Rob



You will get the #N/A error if either of the MATCH functions will not
find their respective lookup value in their respective lookup array.
So, what formulas do you have in the cells AN9 and D9?
Obviously something that, directly or indirectly, uses the values of
cells A1 or A2.
