Index of a Fixed List (Visio 2007)
I have a fixed list, Prop.Sex, with format "M;F". I want to change the value
of another cell based on Prop.Sex. I type in "=IF(Prop.Sex="F",2,4)" and I get 2 regardless of the value of Prop.Sex. I've tried "=IF(Prop.Sex=INDEX(1,Prop.Sex.Format),2,4)" and get the same result. What am I doing wrong? TIA Mike

Hello Mike,
If you're testing for string equality then you need to use the strsame function. Have a go with this instead: =IF(STRSAME(Prop.Sex,"F"),2,4) Hope that helps.
