Hi,

I'm trying to make a column that will be used to inform a pivot table, however because the data sheet is populated by dates and not numbers, if i take data from both columns for the pivot table, there will be an overlap and inflation of resulting totals where both columns contain information. I think I need an ISNUMBER formula that will produce a text / result IF either column has information, or if they both do.

So it needs to do something like

IF CELL-A = (ISNUMBER) AND CELL-B = (ISNUMBER) THEN "YES"
IF CELL-A = (ISNUMBER) AND CELL-B = ("") THEN "YES"
IF CELL-A = ("") AND CELL-B = (ISNUMBER) THEN "YES"
IF CELL-A = ("") AND CELL-B = (I"") THEN ""

If anyone can help, this would be really great!

Kind regards,
 

Excel Facts

Using Function Arguments with nested formulas
If writing INDEX in Func. Arguments, type MATCH(. Use the mouse to click inside MATCH in the formula bar. Dialog switches to MATCH.
IF CELL-A = (ISNUMBER) AND CELL-B = (ISNUMBER) THEN "YES"
IF CELL-A = (ISNUMBER) AND CELL-B = ("") THEN "YES"
IF CELL-A = ("") AND CELL-B = (ISNUMBER) THEN "YES"
IF CELL-A = ("") AND CELL-B = (I"") THEN ""

=IF( AND(A1="", B1=( I"") , "",
BUT not sure what ( I"") means - is that just a PIPE
=IF( AND(A1="", B1="I") , "", IF( OR ( AND ( ISNUMBER(A1), ISNUMBER(B1)) , AND( ISNUMBER(A1), B1="") , AND ( A1="", ISNUMBER ( B1))),"yes", ""))

I have setout as you have written , but there maybe ways to simplify or use a IFS()


=IF(AND(A1="",B1="I"),"",IF(OR(AND(ISNUMBER(A1),ISNUMBER(B1)),AND(ISNUMBER(A1),B1=""),AND(A1="",ISNUMBER(B1))),"yes",""))
