Pulling a different answer from different cells

[Stuge]

Hi Everyone

I am looking for assistance with trying to get different fiqures pulled if cells equal a certin number.

It needs to work like this

If A1 = 1 then B1 = James If A2 = 1 then B1 = John If A3 = 1 then B1 = George

Please can someone help me with this

Thank you very much

Hi Stuge,

I think this should work for you.

In B1:
=if(a1=1, "James", if(a2=1, "John", if(a3=1, "George", "XX")))

Replace "XX" with whatever should be in B1 if none of those are true. "" will produce a blank cell

Additionally, if both A1 and A2=1, B1 will say James, because it was the first criteria met.

Let me know if you have any questions.

@Stuge

What if both A1 = 1 and A2 = 1 hold at the same time?

Thanks Matt, That worked perfectly!!

Next question is. If B1 now says James can I get that cell to change colour?

Cheers

You sure can!

Under the home tab click on Conditional Formatting. Click "New Rule." If it says "Style" at the top select "Classic." Chang it to "Format only cells that contain..." and set your criteria. Make sure to have the cell/range that you want to apply the rule to selected while you do this.

Let me know if this works.
