    Conditional logic issue

    I am trying to assign values based on the following scenario:
    If the value of a cell is >= "D24", then x. If false, then y. D24 is the value, not a reference to a particular cell. The formula I am using is:
    =IF(L3>="D24", "X","Y")
    Formula works fine for values D1 and D2, but D3-D9 return "X" instead of "Y". Values above D24 work fine. Suggestions?

    Since D24 is a text: How do you want to compare it with something?

    If it's a cell remo " " around it.

    Re: Conditional logic issue

    Are the values always starting with "D"?

    If so, then you can compare just the numeric portions.

    e.g.

    =IF(MID(L3,2,10)+0>=MID("D24",2,10)+0, "X","Y")
    Where there is a will there are many ways.

    THANK YOU!!!
    Used the following:
    =IF(MID(L3,2,2)+0>24, "X","Y"
    Worked great!

    Yes, if you know it is 24 always, that is better... my sample was more for showing that you can also replace D24 with another cell reference that may change....
