    Nested IF Statements with Blank Cells

    Hello, I am trying to get results for "Rank Change". I am able to get results using IF(B2<C2,"Decrease",IF(B2>C2,"Increase",IF(B2=C2,"No Change"))) if there are numbers in the cells. However, I am having trouble if there are "blanks".

    Coke 1 2 Decrease
    Pepsi 2 3 Decrease
    Sprite 3 4 Decrease
    Starbucks 4 1 Increase
    Dasani 5 5 No Change
    Canada Dry 6 BLANK No longer ranked
    Fanta BLANK 6 New to Ranking

    Re: Nested IF Statements with Blank Cells

    ok, pointed the original at the wrong cells, this works...
    =IF(AND(B2<>"",C2=""),"No longer Ranked",IF(AND(B2="",C2<>""),"New to Ranking",IF(B2<C2,"Decrease",IF(B2>C2,"Increase",IF(B2=C2,"No Change",IF(AND(A2<>"",B2=""),"No longer Ranked",""))))))

    EDIT: and if you want it blank when nothing is in col A then just use this
    =IF(A2="",""IF(AND(B2<>"",C2=""),"No longer Ranked",IF(AND(B2="",C2<>""),"New to Ranking",IF(B2<C2,"Decrease",IF(B2>C2,"Increase",IF(B2=C2,"No Change",IF(AND(A2<>"",B2=""),"No longer Ranked")))))))
