The answer to the first problem: an IF statement has three arguments =IF(criteria,answer1,answe<wbr />r2). In your formula, F5=&quot;Validator&quot;, you have an answer1, but you have no answer 2. In those circumstances, if the criteria is not met, the answer is by default FALSE. If you don't want this, put in an answer2. <br />
<br />
I suspect you want the null string &quot;&quot;&nbsp;(that's two speech marks), which results in a blank.

I suspect you want the null string "" (that's two speech marks), which results in a blank.

To understand it, find the innermost brackets.<br />
<br />
In English, you say this OR that. In Excel, you say OR(this,that).<br />
<br />
The same with AND - AND(this,that).

<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
I have a formula (in Cell G5) that returns a value of &quot;Y&quot; when these tow conditions are met. &nbsp;F5 = &quot;Validator&quot; and Cell N5 = &quot;WO#&quot; <br />
This is Current Formula: &nbsp; =IF(F5=&quot;Validator&quot;,IF(N5=&quot;<wbr />WO#&quot;,&quot;Y&quot;,)<wbr />)<br />
<br />
The first problem is that when F5 does not equal &quot;Validator&quot; the result is &quot;FALSE&quot;<br />
<br />
The second problem. I want to add a parameter that will return the same results ( &quot;Y&quot; if met, and left blank if not met) when F5 equals either &quot;Validator&quot; or &quot;Scanner&quot; and N5=&quot;WO#&quot;.<br />
<br />
Any suggestions. Thanks

Microsoft applications include a variety of software programs, including development and digital authoring programs (Expression and Media Center), educational programs, Internet software, including Essentials, Skype and the Live family, anti-virus, productivity applications and suites like Office, Excel, Word, Outlook, Access and PowerPoint, video games and server applications such as Exchange, SharePoint, IIS and Virtual Server.

Microsoft Applications

Office Productivity refers both to the act of being productive and efficient in an office or professional environment, as well as the software applications used to "produce" information. This includes the development of professional skills, creating work processes, and almost any program used to create or modify a document, image, audio or video clip. However, business application suites such as Microsoft Office, which include word processing, spreadsheet and presentation programs, are typically called productivity software, as contrasted with a "utility program," such as a file manager, which is used to organize files and folders on the computer. Many office- and business-oriented groups of programs are organized into suites.

Office Productivity

A spreadsheet is an interactive computer application program for organization, analysis and storage of data in tabular form. Spreadsheets developed as computerized simulations of paper accounting worksheets. The program operates on data represented as cells of an array, organized in rows and columns. Each cell of the array may contain either numeric or text data, or the results of formulas that automatically calculate and display a value based on the contents of other cells.
