    help on a simple if text says this input that, if cell is blank leave it blank

    Hi,

    anyone can help with a simple formula for me?

    if A1 says "Active" put "Working" in A2, if A1 says "Inactive" put "Disabled" in A2, if A1 is blank, leave A2 blank.

    A few options...

    =IF(A1="Active","Working",IF(A1="Inactive","Disabled",""))

    =IF(A1<>"",CHOOSE(MATCH(A1,{"Active","Inactive"},0),"Working","Disabled"),"")

    =IF(A1<>"",LOOKUP(A1,{"Active","Inactive"},{"Working","Disabled"}))
    HTH
    Regards, Jeff
