multiple if statements

C

Chris

I am using this formula:
=IF(B3=C16,C16,"")*AND(IF(C3=D16,D16,""))*AND(IF(D3=E16,E16,""))
but am getting a value error

What I am trying to do is if
B3 = 2007 and C16 =2007 have 2007 displayed in A16. This is easy using
=IF(B3=C16,C16,"")
But I would also like to check if C3 = Q3 and D16 also equals Q3, I
would like the result to be:
2007Q3 with no spaces

In addition, in my second if statement if C3 does not equal D16, but
my 3rd If statement where D3 does equal E16
I would like the result to be:
2007Accounting with no spaces
if D3=Accounting and E16 also equals Accounting

I am just using the words Accounting, 1007 and Q3 as examples as these
variables will change.

Any genius ideas out there?

Let's look at: If B3 = 2007 and C16 =2007 have 2007 displayed in A16. This
is easy using
=IF(B3=C16,C16,"") But I would also like to check if C3 = Q3 and D16 also
equals Q3, I
would like the result to be: 2007Q3 with no spaces

=IF(AND(B3=2007,C16=2007,C3=Q3, D16=Q3), "2007"&TRIM(Q3), "something else")
here I assume you mean the cell Q3

=IF(AND(B3=2007,C16=2007), IF(C3="Q3", D16="Q3"), "2007Q3, "not Q3"), "not
2007")
here I assume the text "Q3"

Now tell us what is to happen in the other cases

There are way too many variables to set up the formula like this. That
is why I was referencing the cell instead of possible variables to be
entered into the cell like "Q3" and "2007".
The Q3 is not a cell, it is a possible variable.

Throw away your *AND and replace with &
& is the operator for concatenation of strings.
