I am using excel 2010, I need help with a formula that i can t seem to get i know i am close. example. A1,B1,C1,D1 - if B1 is blank and C1 is blank then i want D1 to equal A1. But if there is text in B1 or C1 then I want D1 to be that value. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers, Trevor

Hi Trevor34,

So if C1 has a value, D1 should take that value.
If C1 is empty, see if B1 has a value to take D1's place, if not then take a look at A1.

Try this formula in D1:
=IF(C1<>"",C1,IF(B1<>"",B1,A1))


Best regards,
Trowa

=IF(B1&C1&D1="",A1,B1&C1&D1) I actually Played around with it for sometime and came up with this and it seems to be pulling what data I am looking for. Thank so much for the quick reply though. I am going to copy and give yours a try though. I will get back to you.

Much appreciated! Trevor.
