Hi All,
I have a question about one formula. I have text "High" in column A1 and text "Medium" in column B1. In column C1 i would like to see "high". How to do it? And what about if i have in A1 "high" and in B1 - "low" and i would like to have "medium" as a result in C1? Thank you in advance |

in your first example, to see "high" in column C1, you need to put =A1 in
cell C1. However, this will also shows "high" in your 2nd scenario. So you need to determine why in the first example, you need a "high" and in the second scenario, it should be "medium" and set the required formula. Maybe a IF statement will be useful.

hi there. Let's talk about my second scenario. Can you help me with the
formula. How exactly needs to look my formula in this case? Thanks "ck" wrote: in your first example, to see "high" in column C1, you need to put =A1 in cell C1.

In C1, paste this
=IF(SUMPRODUCT(--(A1="High"),--(B1="Medium")),"High","Medium") What it does is that if A1=high and B1=medium, C1 will be high. Any other combination will result in C1 being medium. So if you have more than these 2 combination, you need to set more criteria to make it more robust. Click yes below if it works "Postman" wrote: hi there. Let's talk about my second scenario.

Can you post your formula here? I tried on 2007 and it does not produce error.

In A1 i wrote - High
In B1 i wrote - Medium In C1 i wrote - =if(SUMPRODUCT(--(A1="High"),--(B1="Medium")),"High","Medium") and it gives me error in this section "(--(A1="High")," (in the comma sign).

I copied your formula into C1 and it is fine. Initially it shows a result of
medium but that was because i key in high into A1 and medium into B1 instead of High and Medium. Can you go to the tab 'formula / evaluate formula' and click the button evaluate and go through the evaluation process? It might throw up what happens.
