Formula Help

From: Robb S. on 2 Feb 2010 14:44 I am creating an invoice in Excel. I would like to be able to creat a formula that will enter an amount in say column B IF there is ANY text in column A. trying to use the IF function, I don't know what I could put into the "Logical test" box in order to have it accepted. After that, I would put my standard fee amount into the "value if true" line and a space, blank or zero in the "value if false" line. So what would I need to enter into the logical test box to make this happen? The value that will ultimately be in column A will either be ANY date, or ANY NAME. Help ~ and thanks Robb -- Robb S.

From: Mike H on 2 Feb 2010 15:43 Hi, Maybe this =IF(A1="","","My standard fee amount") -- Mike When competing hypotheses are otherwise equal, adopt the hypothesis that introduces the fewest assumptions while still sufficiently answering the question.
