    Excel Formula equivalent of Access Formula

    hi guys,

    i hope that you can help me on this, basically what i need is a formula that can do a calculation if, e.g.

    A=true then B will be updated , however if A=false then B will stay blank.

    also just a long shot but does anyone know if when i create a database in access would i be able to upload or import a formula from excel that would run in a form in access and make a calculation for me when i input new data, This would be a lot easier for me as i have also set up a database in access 2007 but got stuck on trying to enter calculations,

    I know that this is a excel forum but if anyone by any chance would be able to shed a bit of light on this situation it would be much appreciated.

    thanks in advance Adam.

    Re: formulas in excel

    Hi

    In B1

    =IF(A1=True,"yourvalue","")

    I believe the formulae syntax in Access is different to Excel hence I don't believe you can simply use an excel formula.

    Hi,

    I've changed your title for you following Roy's comment, but please remember for any new threads.

    The example you ask about won't work if you're expecting to calculate a value based on the C1 value. You need to remove the quotes around "C1/100*2".

    I used the IF(A1=True... since this was the way you described it on your original post. However you may mean to be testing whether A1 contains a value or a specific value. If so instead use.

    =IF(A1<>"",......
    or
    =IF(A1=yourvalue,.....

    HTH
