User 24/05/2018 - 04:34
Im trying calculate values in cell c3 as example when 2 certain drop selections are made
Excelchat Expert 24/05/2018 - 04:34
The two conditions IF formula should be written as like this.
Excelchat Expert 24/05/2018 - 04:35
=IF(AND(A3="ad",B3="ed"),value-if true,value-if false)
