Hello all,

How can I use the content of a cell as rule in a formula?

Exammple:

A2 has a
A3 has b
a4 has c
etc, etc.

Content of B1 is (as text): ="a"

I want to have a formula in b2 where the content of B2 is used to compare if A2 is ="a" (the content of B2)
So something like:
=IF(A2 & B1 & ;1;2)

it will have the same effect as =IF(A2="a";1;2) where the comparision with "a" is hardcoded.


Thanks in advance for any hint or help!
