    I want (Cell A) Blank unless Cell B reads a certain word.

    Hi There,

    Small question for ya, I only want a cell (Cell A) to say "Yes" if (Cell B) says the word Security, Something like IF (Cell A) is Yes then (Cell B) changes to Security.

    Thankyou

    I'm not sure from your thread if A is variable or B is variable. Please clarify as you explanation is confusing. Which cell is dependent on the contents of the other?

    Ok, so Cell A is a drop down box that has 2 choices 'Yes' and 'No', If Cell a says 'No' Then Cell B will stay Blank but if it says 'Yes' then Cell B will say 'Security'.
