MS Office Forum / Excel / New Users / August 2007Formulae
Greeting all. I have a table with two columns - Medal Name - Monarch Column 1 has the data entered. Can I apply a conditional formula to column 2 something to the effect of: If MEDAL NAME=British War Medal then George V else If MEDAL NAME=Crimea Medal then Victoria and so on As column 1 already has data in, will a formula autofill column 2 or will it only apply for new entries If it is possible, now the really dumb question - where do you enter the formula? Thanks from a total newbie Sorry - should have said Excel 2003 (and bottom posted as well!!) > Greeting all. > [quoted text clipped - 17 lines] > > Thanks from a total newbie The and so on suggests that you would want to use a VLOOKUP table. Look in the help index for VLOOKUP. Put the formula in col c and copy down.

Tried one of the examples from VLOOKUP help and put 'my words' where I thought they should go: =IF(ISNA(VLOOKUP(British War Medal,A2:George V,2,FALSE)) = TRUE, "xxx", VLOOKUP(British War Medal,A2:George V,2,FALSE)) I put this in the top cell of column 2 and nothing happened, - a little more coaching please!! > The and so on suggests that you would want to use a VLOOKUP table.
