reversing signals in excel

**schill2** · 08-29-2012, 06:02 PM

HI,
I have this list - XXXXXXXXXX
I want to reverse it in different modes -
1 : means keep signal
0 : means reverse

A reverse means X is converted into Y or Y is converted into X.

So if I had 1101101101 for XXXXXXXXXX,
The return is XXYXXYXXYX.

And if I had 1010101010 for XXXXXXXXXX,
The return is XYXYXYXYXY.

Can anyone show me how I program this rule in excel?

Hi,

Assuming you mean those strings of 1s and 0s are all in one cell then

=SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(A1,"0","Y"),"1","X")
