    Question Changing cell values based on other cells values

    Hello everyone,

    I am attaching an excel file, I'm trying to figure out how to change the values of other cells based on the input of the previous ones.

    In the example attached, I managed to conditionally format and change the cell values in E5 based on the input of the previous cell if it is >= 60 it will change to green and the letter will change to C (Completed) If it is <=59 it will turn to Red and the letter will change to "F"

    What I need is to change the letters in cells G5 and I5 to "S" if the value in E5 is "C" and so on for the whole row, here I just included 3 stages but the stages could be more in the row.

    Thank you.

    Re: Changing cell values based on other cells values

    I don't think you have explained this fully...


    but for openers:

    =IF($E5>=60,"S", IF(F5<=59,"F",IF(F5>=0,"R",0)))

    Yes I guess I didn't explained it well,

    I will get back with a more detailed explanation and another clearer excel example.


    Thanks a lot for helping

    Re: Changing cell values based on other cells values

    Ok here is another file, this is more clear :D

    The only problem is when the cell is blank is not working!


    this is the formula I used but not working with empty cell


    =IF(A1>=60, "C", IF(A1<=59, "F", IF(A1="", "S")))

    Thanks for your time

    Re: Changing cell values based on other cells values

    That's not such an issue:

    =IF(A1="","",IF(A1>=60, "C", IF(A1<=59, "F", IF(A1="", "S"))))

    Thanks Glenn, but still not working when the A1 is Empty, the B1 is not displaying an "S"
    Unless there is something that I have missed here

    I'm sorry, but when A1 is empty with no value, the B1 is empty as well and not showing anything at all! I just tried the sheet. thanks

    Re: Changing cell values based on other cells values

    Ok I found out the issue here

    =IF(A1="","S",IF(A1>=60, "C", IF(A1<=59, "F", IF(A1="", "S"))))

    The S is missing in the 1st statement

    Re: Changing cell values based on other cells values

    Now this works: =IF(A1="","S",IF(A1>=60, "C", IF(A1<=59, "F")))

    Re: Changing cell values based on other cells values

    I think I misunderstood what you meant when you said:


    this is the formula I used but not working with empty cell

    I guessed what you meant by the bit in red... as you did not explain what "not working" meant...

    as long as you're sorted now.
