Ok, Here we go.
What I need this formula to do is:
If B1 is different from A1 and E1 says "TEXTO" then "DONE" if not "-" but if E1 says "PURO#" and B1=A1 then "DONE" if not "DIF#"
My colums' names are:
A - "English"
B - "Spanish"
D - "Extra info"
E - "English match"
F - "Numbers or text"
G - "Translation added"
So, I have both text and numbers in columns A and B, and I translated the text, but the numbers, well those don't need translating, so what I want is to check if I pasted the information on the TEXT cells right and at the same time check if I didn't change any NUMBERS by mistake. In column E I already used a formula to check if a cell contained only numbers, and used paste special to keep tha values and not the formula in the cell.
I thought I could make a formula with two if functions together combined with "or" or something like it, but excel has once again outsmarted me.
I hope I'm clear enough. Please explain as if you were talking to a five year old...I suck at excel formulas
