    Excel Question

    This seems like a simple question but it's not from what I can see.

    I want to have a field display an X of anything in 4 other fields is a number above 70.

    I.E. - If E2 or F2 or G2 or H2 are > 70 make an X in I2.

    Can anyone point me in the right direction here?

    You could use the conditional formatting found under the format menu I believe.

    Wait - scratch that, that will only format the cell, not display certain text.

    VBA for excel might also be a nice option if you can program the least littlest bit in VB

    Use the insert function, and then use the if function.

    if function works great for simple if then else statements. I use it alot for simple if statements like

    =if(c2-1,c3="yes",c3="no")

    so if c2 =1 then c3 = yes else c3 = no

    you MIGHT be able to use the if function with a ton of nested else if, but the function would be pretty cumbersome IF it would work ()

    with what ILTU wants to do you'd need the ability to include the OR operator.

    VBA code in a sheet macro would be the best solution IMO

    if c2 = 1 or c1 = 1 then
    c3 = yes
    else
    c3 = no
    end if

    much cleaner
