MS Office Forum / Excel / Worksheet Functions / May 2008Show text massege when formula result is true
Can i use the if function with the cell function?  Signatureif cell a1 = 100 then " Your are close to 3%" if cell a1 = 300 then " Your are close to 6%" if cell a1 = 600 then " Your are close to 9%" text masseges " Your are close to 3%" " Your are close to 6%" " Your are close to 9%" thanks Excel Rocks If you mean exactly those figures thentry: =IF(A1=100,"You are close to 3%",IF(A1=300,"You are close to 6%",IF(A1=600,"You are close to 6%","Other answer"))) SignatureHTH Sandy In Perth, the ancient capital of Scotland and the crowning place of kings sandymann2@mailinator.com Replace @mailinator.com with @tiscali.co.uk > Can i use the if function with the cell function? Why not just give an exact percentage? With A1 as your current progress out of the overall process (figure in B1): ="You are at " & (A1/B1*100)& "%." Does that help? Paul > Can i use the if function with the cell function? > ="You are at " & (A1/B1*100)& "%." For to work wouldn't B1 have to be 3333.3333 for 3%, 5000 for 6% and 6666.66667 for 9%? I would also suggest: ="You are at " & TEXT(A1/B1,"#%") to prevent numerous digits being returned from the division.

Good point Sandy! The theory was good though :-) >> ="You are at " & (A1/B1*100)& "%." > [quoted text clipped - 17 lines] >> >>> Can i use the if function with the cell function? Sure. You can either nest a few IFs or use math to make the % show up properly. I'm having a problem with your example numbers because if 100 is 3% it would mean that 300 is 9%. I think your formula might look like this (and not need the IF at all) with the changes I made to your numbers: ="You are close to "&TRUNC(A1/33,0)&"%" If the numbers cannot be calculated directly, you could use a LOOKUP instead of the division. > Can i use the if function with the cell function? > -- [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > > Excel Rocks Excuse me if this post is a dupe, because it didn't seem to show up after the first attempt.
