Hi,

Have three columns looking like this

Controversy Meaning Meaning


The first two rows consist of formula, ie offset. what i want to achieve is if controversy has a number/value, then meaning should appear in column 3, If controversy is blank than, meaning should be blank.


Thanks,

Vilas
 
Hi Vilas ,


Can you clarify the following :


if controversy has a number/value, then meaning should appear in column 3


From where should this meaning appear ? Should it be taken from the corresponding cell in column 2 ?


Can you copy + paste some data from your worksheet and explain what the result should be in a few cases ?

Hi, vilasini!


First of all welcome to Chandoo's website Excel forums. Thank you for your joining us and glad to have you here.


As a starting point I'd recommend you to read the green sticky topics at this forums main page. There you'll find general guidelines about how this site and community operates (introducing yourself, posting files, netiquette rules, and so on).


Among them you're prompted to perform searches within this site before posting, because maybe your question had been answered yet.


Feel free to play with different keywords so as to be led thru a wide variety of articles and posts, and if you don't find anything that solves your problem or guides you towards a solution, you'll always be welcome back here. Tell us what you've done, consider uploading a sample file as recommended, and somebody surely will read your post and help you.


And about your question...


If you haven't performed yet the search herein, try going to the topmost right zone of this page (Custom Search), type the keywords used in Tags field when creating the topic or other proper words and press Search button. You'd retrieve many links from this website, like the following one(s) -if any posted below-, maybe you find useful information and even the solution. If not please advise so as people who read it could get back to you as soon as possible.


Despite of this, I agree with NARAYANK991, I don't understand your requirement and it'd be helpful if you elaborate a bit more, including post or upload of sample files, as per your description of the issue we can't get what you're trying to achieve.


Regards!
 
Hi vilasini,


I supposed you meant to say 'present in first two columns'??


Code:
=IF(ISBLANK(B1)=TRUE,"",Value)


Where B1 is controversy, either blank or not, and Value is the value you want to show.


Regards,
