I have a complex formula within my spreadsheet using the IF function with 3 variables. I now want the option to over ride this whole formula if cell (B1) equals 'MS'.
So, if B1='MS' I want the rule to be ignored and add 1908 to value in (A2) and calculated in cell A3.
The rule I am working with is:
A3 =IF(A1="FF",A2-100,IF(A1="SD",A2+50,IF(A1="REV",A2,"")))
How can I do this? Thanks in advance

Thanks, will this work even if cell A1 has one of the variables e.g. A1=FF?
I need the B1 to override the rest of the formula!
Yes, IF works by checking for a condition, performing one action if that condition is TRUE and another if it's FALSE.
=IF(ConditionToMeet,ActionIfTrue,ActionIfFalse)
So in this case if B1 does equal MS then the first condition is met and the formula performs the first action. if B1 does NOT equal MS then the first condition is not met and the formula continues on to the next nested IF.

Thank you so much! Makes sense and all working!!
Happy to help
