IF = text Show "NIL" ..?

[JonatanRaven]

A new problem has arisen.

I want to create a formula that will check if a certain cell has any text and if so show that text in another cell. If there is no text, I want excel to show nothing. I think standard is 0.

Any ideas..?

Please don't post the same question in multiple newsgroups. It tends to
fragment any answers you receive, and it potentially wastes the time of
those answering questions that have already been answered.

Yes zero is the correct answer in this case. However you are asking the formular to put it in another cell (in this case we will say cell D1), I can only guess you are trying to say that for example the information is in C1 and the formular is in D1 and you are saying that if A1 = B1 then put that information in cell D1 if that is the case then yes zero is correct. The way that I normally would do it is =if(A1=B1,C1,if(A1=B1,D1,0)). I hope this is of help to you but please bare in mind I am only new to this bussines of helping other people I am normally asking other people for help. But I am only to happy help if I can.
