Text treated as a numeric value?
In the following equation I am trying to return a value if the cell contains
a number - I used if the cell is greater than zero but the formula is trating a text value as true .... help? =IF(I140,I14,IF(OR(I14="P",I14="E"),I$13,0)) |

Try this instead:
=IF(ISNUMBER(I14),I14,IF(OR(I14="P",I14="E"),I$13, 0)) Hope this helps.

Hi,
If you are trying to eliminate neb=gative numbers then you need to test for a number 0 =IF(AND(ISNUMBER(I14),I140),I14,IF(OR(I14="P",I14 ="E"),I$13,0)) Mike "betany70" wrote: In the following equation I am trying to return a value if the cell contains a number - I used if the cell is greater than zero but the formula is trating a text value as true .... help? =IF(I140,I14,IF(OR(I14="P",I14="E"),I$13,0)) |

Try =IF(N(I14)0,I14,IF(OR(I14="P",I14="E"),I$13,0)) |
