I need a formula to place the value of one cell into another cell making both the cell values the same. This is done in the IF formula in the, [value_if_true] part.

So, lets see if I understood.. For example, in cell A1 there is number 15. You want that if some logical test is true for example A1 have value 15 also

Cell A2 was supposed to be in last sentence, sorry
Excelchat Expert
06/07/2018 - 12:09
If I understood you right, that formula would be if(logical test;A2=A1;something what happens if false)

this
User
06/07/2018 - 12:12
my current formula which does not work is this
User
06/07/2018 - 12:12
=IF(SQRT(B4)<E3,=B2,=A2)
Excelchat Expert
06/07/2018 - 12:13
Did you put ; or , in formula
User
06/07/2018 - 12:13
No

You cannot have kommas between logical test, value if true and value if false
Excelchat Expert
06/07/2018 - 12:14
You have to put ;
User
06/07/2018 - 12:15
The formula still did not work
Excelchat Expert
06/07/2018 - 12:16
Try to write not only =B2 and =A2
Excelchat Expert
06/07/2018 - 12:16
Write name of the cell in front of =
Excelchat Expert
06/07/2018 - 12:16
For example A6=B2;A6=A2
User
06/07/2018 - 12:17
But I want the value of B2 in the cell which I am writing the formula in.
Excelchat Expert
06/07/2018 - 12:18
Okay lets start over
Excelchat Expert
06/07/2018 - 12:19
If sqrt(B4)<E3 what do you want to happen
Excelchat Expert
06/07/2018 - 12:19
Tell me without formulas
Excelchat Expert
06/07/2018 - 12:19
Only words
User
06/07/2018 - 12:21
I want B2 to have the same value as A5. so A5 is 550
Excelchat Expert
06/07/2018 - 12:21
And if that logical test is false what do you want to happen
User
06/07/2018 - 12:24
I want the value of A5 to be 222
Excelchat Expert
06/07/2018 - 12:25
Then your formula would be if(sqrt(B4)<E3;A5=B2;A5=A4)
