    how to fill out a certain cell based on a priority system

    Say I want the value of B2 to be the value of A1. But if there is nothing in A1, I want the value of B2 to be B1. but if there is nothign in B1, I want the value of B2 to be C1. Im trying to fill out B2 based on a priority system. How would I go about doing this?

    This could be a start...

    =IF(A1<>"",A1,IF(B1<>"",B1,IF(C1<>"",C1,"")))
    HTH

    Put this formula in B2:

    =IF(A1<>"",A1,IF(B1<>"",B1,IF(C1<>"",C1,"")))

    Hope this helps.
