    Help with IF formula checking text in a cell

    Hi,

    Have searched all over this forum and Google and can't seem to find an answer that actually works.

    I am trying to write a forumula in Excell 2010, which (and I hope this makes sense) If the text in a dropdown menu in a cell is High then it references the answer from a formula on a different worksheet, if not then references a 2nd answer.

    Hope that makes sense, any help much appreciated.

    Thanks

    Maybe you could post a sample workbook so we can see where the drop down box is, what the options are, where they're picked up from, etc.

    Something like:
    Formula: copy to clipboard

    You're going to have to be a lot more specific though, if you want a more specific solution. Attach a workbook, show what your required outcome looks like.
    let Source = #table({"Question","Thread", "User"},{{"Answered","Mark Solved", "Add Reputation"}}) in Source
