Hey guys,

I'm having trouble referencing data from another table in excel 2010 using the IF formula.

AIM: If cell a2=true, show value of cell a1
If cell a2=false, show X

This is what I've done;

Table 1

=IF('Table 2'!a2="TRUE",'Bayes modelling'!a1,"X")

However when I enter this the cell always reads as "X", whether or not the cell on the other table reads false.

Table 2

cell a2 uses the following expression;
=IF(P14>0.52,AND(P13<0.52))

cell a1 doesn't use a formula

I'm very new to excel but I'm guessing it is copying the formula rather than just the text.

Any help is greatly appreciated!

cheers,

Ben
 

Excel Facts

Wildcard in VLOOKUP
Use =VLOOKUP("Apple*" to find apple, Apple, or applesauce
Try removing the quotes around TRUE

=IF('Table 2'!a2=TRUE,'Bayes modelling'!a1,"X")
