I have values on a source sheet and a working sheet.

On the working sheet, I pull values from matching cells (Working!B6 gets the value from Source!B6 etc.) I need a custom function which looks at a cell such as Working!B1 to decide what to do in Working!B6:

If it is V or D, then add an apostrophe to be beginning and an apostrophe and comma at the end of Working!B6
If it is N, no apostrophe, but still a comma at the end.

In this case, I would use B$1 in the function, so I can copy it down and across with it adjusting for the different columns and rows.

How to create a cell-sized chart?
Tiny charts, called Sparklines, were added to Excel 2010. Look for Sparklines on the Insert tab.
Hi Alex20850,

This will put the apostrophe around the entry if the text is V or D or else it won't (hopefully this is what you need):

=IF(OR(Source!A2="V",Source!A2="D"),"'"&Source!A2&"',",Source!A2&",")

It is not completely clear to me whether your sheet references should be to "Source" or "Working" although I kind of think it should be "Working". No matter which, I am pretty sure the cell addresses I highlighted in red should both be B6, not A2.

You are correct. The basic formula is enough for me to work with. Thanks
