    IF function not returning expected result

    Hi

    I seek some assistance with a couple of functions in the attached spreadsheet.

    Cell reference A14 has a function 
    Please Login or Register  to view this content.
    This works fine.

    In column H17 to H15 I have this function 
    Please Login or Register  to view this content.
    again works fine.

    However, my issue is that in column D17 to D25 where there is text, such as NEW or UNKNOWN (these are only going to be the text values) I get a result in column H as OK.

    Is there a way of getting around this?

    Hope this makes sense.

    Many thanks

    Re: Help with Function

    Your post does not comply with Rule 1 of our Forum RULES. Your post title should accurately and concisely describe your problem, not your anticipated solution.

    Use terms appropriate to a Google search. Poor thread titles, like Please Help, Urgent, Need Help, Formula Problem, Code Problem, and Need Advice will be addressed according to the OP's experience in the forum: If you have less than 10 posts, expect (and respond to) a request to change your thread title. If you have 10 or more posts, expect your post to be locked, so you can start a new thread with an appropriate title.

    To change a Title go to your first post, click EDIT then Go Advanced and change your title, if 2 days have passed ask a moderator to do it for you.

    (This thread should receive no further responses until this moderation request is fulfilled, as per Forum Rule 7)
