    Hi nnguys,

    I believe you have to use macro (vba) here....

    Hi nnguys

    The attached file does what you asked - but I would have thought that it would be more use to have B1 entered "D/O" when A1 = "sat".

    Is "D/O" the only entry that should go in B1 ?

    Let me know if it does what you want.

    Regards
