Help with formula

[jzzman]

I have searched for this, but can't find it. I am trying to make a
formula in conditional formatting to place text in cell E6 based on an
IF statement based on text in cell C6. So, if cell C6 has the word
"yes" typed in it, then text "complete" will be placed in cell E6. Can
you guys help me with how this formula would be written? I have
=IF(c6="yes",????


Thanks,

BTW,

I didn't mention my formula is not in cell E6 I need it to be in cel
AA6

Sure

=IF(C6="yes","complete","whatever you want it to say if C6 is not yes")

CF cannot do this. You do need a formula
in e6
=if(c6="Yes","Complete","")

It's not conditional formatting, as you are altering the content of the
cell, not its format.
In E6, put the formula
=IF(C6="yes","complete","not complete")
[You can replace "not complete" by whatever you want in E6 if C6 is NOT
"yes". Put "" if you want it to be blank in that case.]

Also, conditional formatting will only help you change the formatting of a
cell, not the text in it. You have to put your formula in the cell itself.

Thanks for the reply.

Then you will need a macro. cell AA6 cannot put data in e6 via cf or a
formula.
