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

Links? Where??
If Excel says you have links but you can't find them, go to Formulas, Name Manager. Look for old links to dead workbooks & delete.
Try:

=IF(OR(AND(B1<>A1,E1="TEXTO"),B1=A1),"DONE","DIF#")

I think I wasn't clear, the formula should be something like:


=IF((H1=I1,M1="PURO #","#")or(H1=I1,M1="Text","-","DONE"))

But, of course, my stupid formulas are not right and I'm losing my mind

I'd appreciate an explained answer like:
=if(and(this=that,something else=something else),do this if true,do this if false)

In the end I used:

=IF(H1=I,IF(M1="puro #","#",IF(M1="Text","-")),"DONE")

and it's working great!

Thanks soooo much!
