    Help Using a Master Worksheet #VALUE! ERROR

    Hello.

    I am trying to use a master worksheet to use a basis for keeping track of all client info of when clients dropped off, when we received information, etc. and I am trying to use the other pages within the workbook for individual clients. I have put the master worksheet into a list format.

    I'm trying to place a nested IF function on one of the sub pages right now, but I keep coming up with a value error.

    I've looked at some websites for help, but they mention that you have to define names for the data you want to include in the nested IF function. I've tried this and I haven't succeeded.

    This is what the function looks like now:

    =IF(Compilation_Master[[#This Row],[Received]]>0,"have","need"),IF(Compilation_Master[[#This Row],[Entered]],"E","N")

    Any thoughts to how I can get this function to work or if I have mistyped it?

    Thanks for your help!

    I've looked at some websites for help, but they mention that you have to define names for the data you want to include in the nested IF function
    It is not necessary to create "defined names" (which I take to mean named ranges) to use the IF function.

    However, in order for us to provide a precise answer, it would be best if you uploaded a sample workbook that meets the following criteria:

    1. It EXACTLY duplicates the structure of your real workbook, AND
    2. It contain representative but non-sensitive dummy data, AND
    3. It manually illustrates a couple of expected results for clarity

    Do you know . . . ?

    How would I upload? I guess I can upload it to Google Docs and share it, but I don't know how to do that and keep the formatting the same. Any thoughts?

    Here is the attachment. Hope it works! I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

    It's a dummy worksheet with the information and explanation of why I wanted the data in that particular way. If there is a better way to do this, I am open to suggestions.

    Thanks again!

    Re: Help Using a Master Worksheet #VALUE! ERROR

    I think your criteria are conflicting, I can't reconcile them to all exist together. I guess you have to go in this order:

    1) Does the item exist? If not then answer = "Need"

    If it exists, = "Have" isn't a useful response because of the following criteria.

    2) If exists, has it been reconciled? If so, then answer = "Reconciled"
    3) If not reconciled, has it been entered? Is so then answer = "Entered"
    4) If not entered, then answer = "Not Entered"

    So the only codes I see working are:

    "Need"
    "Not Entered"
    or "Have - not entered"
    "Not Reconciled" or "Entered, not reconciled"
    "Reconciled"

    That's what I thought too, but I was hoping there would be a different way. Oh, well.

    Thanks for your help.
