Hello Stevo,
Try the following formula:-
=IF(B2="YES","Windows are clean.","")&IF(B2="NO","Windows require cleaning.","")&IF(B2="NA","NA","")
I assume that your first row will have headers so paste the formula into cell C2.
Click on cell B2 and use Data Validation to create a drop down: go to the Data tab and in the Data Tools group, click on Data Validation and in the drop down that appears, click Data Validation. In the dialogue box that appears, choose "List" in the "Allow" drop down box. In the "Source" box, type in Yes, No, NA and then click OK. A drop down box should then appear in B2.
Type your questions, such as "are the windows clean?", in A2.
The 'reply' text in the formula can be changed to suit your requirements.
You will need to adjust the column widths to suit.
Hopefully, this may help you.
Cheers,
vcoolio
