Excelchat Expert 12/10/2018 - 02:13
Hi, Are you there?
Excelchat Expert 12/10/2018 - 02:23
Please use "if " formula to apply your condition.
Excelchat Expert 12/10/2018 - 02:24
The syntax is as follows
Excelchat Expert 12/10/2018 - 02:24
For example, =IF(C2=”Yes”,1,2) says IF(C2 = Yes, then return a 1, otherwise return a 2).
