    Basic IF function

    Hi,

    Basic IF function but I can't seem to work it out, so help is much appreciated.

    I have A1=50 and A3=70. My If function will compare both A1 and A3, if both figures are the same then cell A4 will display “Correct”, if not, then cell A4 will display “Incorrect” and will tell me the difference which is A3- A1. My problem is I didn’t know how to display both “Incorrect” and “A3- A1” in the same cell. Here is my formula

    You were nearly there...
    =IF(A1=A3,"Correct",IF(A1<>A3,"Incorrect, difference is "&A3-A1 ))
