IF function

[Louis]

What would the formula be for this arguement?

If their is a number in column B (doesn't matter if it's a
positive or a negative) and "N/A" is listed in column E, I
want it to return this message "Refer To Master" but if
either one of those arguments is not correct I want the
formula to return nothing (blank).

Thank you

Louis

Hi Louis!

Try:
=IF(AND(ISNUMBER(B1),ISNA(E1)),"Refer to Master","")

But if E1's N/A is text rather than the Excel error message:

=IF(AND(ISNUMBER(B1),E1="N/A"),"Refer to Master","")

The AND returns TRUE or FALSE which is a require of the IF function
condition. You can pre-test AND function using (in your example (first
option):

=AND(ISNUMBER(B1),ISNA(E1))
