Question about forumla

[manesh]

I have a cell that needs to change from a % to a $ depending on a validation dropdown list. Once it has been set, I need to be able to tell the difference between the % and the $ in a couple formula's in the same sheet.

Thanks

manesh,

You could use a formula like:

=IF(A2="Test",TEXT(A1,"%0.00"),TEXT(A1,"$0,000.00"))

With a similar test for you further formulas.
