Hi all, <?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o:p></o:p>
<o:p></o:p>
A real basic request that for some reason my brain just can't get....<o:p></o:p>
<o:p></o:p>
I've created a simple drop down list that returns a value of "yes" or "no" what I'm trying to do is to populate the adjacent cell with a statement lets say " go away" only why "yes is selected.<o:p></o:p>
<o:p></o:p>
Your help and guidance would be appreciated.<o:p></o:p>

Lock one reference in a formula
Need 1 part of a formula to always point to the same range? use $ signs: $V$2:$Z$99 will always point to V2:Z99, even after copying
=IF(A1="yes","Go Away!","")

change the A1 to whatever cell the yes will be in.
