Hello,

I have a workbook with two sheets, Data and Transactions List. I have named cells A4:A7 on the second sheet as Income (Dividend, Interest, Cash, Tax).

I would like a formula in column F of the Data sheet that leaves it blank unless column C contains one of the entries in the Income range, in which case it should be the column J value.

I've tried
=IF(C384=Income,J384,"")
but it returns #Value!

Can anyone help?
Many Thanks

Hi CS Formula,

You can't compare a single cell to a range when using IF formula.

Try this: =IF(OR(C384=A4,C384=A5,C384=A6,C384=A7),J384,"")

Best regards,
Trowa

One alternate method would be to use COUNTIF
=IF(COUNTIF(A4:a47,"Income")>0,J384,"")
