If statements refering to data validated ranges
I am creating a spredsheet where a series of questions are posed with data
validated answers - such as '0-6 months' or 'over 6 months'. Then I want to add an if statement to another cell that goes if the answer to the above question (if(c30=over 6 months, yes, no) but I get an error message - any suggestions? |

Enclosing the text strings in your IF function should make it work:
=IF(C30="over 6 months","Yes", "No") Hope this helps, Hutch "skimark" wrote: I am creating a spredsheet where a series of questions are posed with data validated answers - such as '0-6 months' or 'over 6 months'.
