IF - not equal to

[Guest]

Hello

I cant get an easy formula to work... I have A and B column and want C to
look as below

A B C
0 0 X
0 J J
J 0 J

I've tried =IF(A1<>0;A1;IF(B1<>0;B1;X)) but I just get 0:s in the C column.
What an I doing wrong? Can anyone help me?

Try it with "" wrapped around the X, ie:
=IF(A1<>0;A1;IF(B1<>0;B1;"X"))

Doesn't work either... but thanks for your suggestion.

Anything else I could try?

Ok, i found the problem. The "0" were not a number, excel thought it was text
and when i added the " " around 0 I got the answer i was looking for.
