Excel Formula help (if/or)

[Mallesh23]

Hi Team,

I am looking for a formula in B3, Such a that if I found a Cell value (Gold or Silver)
in Cell A3, then I want the answer Best in Column (b3). 
Else dont change any value in B3. Then i want to drag the formula till last cell value.

Through Filtering I can get the result, I am looking for a formula as a replacement for Filtering.

You cannot do that with a formula. A cell can only contain one thing... a formula or data... if you put a formula in a cell, that formula cannot see the data that existed beforehand. You will need to use a VBA macro to do what you asked for.
[CODE][table="width: 500"]
[tr]
	[td]Sub GoldSilverBest()
  Dim LastRow As Long
  LastRow = Cells(Rows.Count, "B").End(xlUp).Row
  Range("B1:B" & LastRow) = Evaluate(Replace("IF((A1:A#=""Gold"")+(A1:A#=""Silver""),""BEST"",B1:B#)", "#", LastRow))
End Sub[/td]
[/tr]
[/table]

HOW TO INSTALL MACROs
------------------------------------
If you are new to macros, they are easy to install and use. To install it, simply press ALT+F11 to go into the VB editor and, once there, click Insert/Module on its menu bar, then copy/paste the above code into the code window that just opened up. That's it.... you are done. To use the macro, go back to the worksheet with your data on it and press ALT+F8, select the macro name (GoldSilverBest) from the list that appears and click the Run button. The macro will execute and perform the action(s) you asked for. If you will need to do this again in this same workbook, and if you are using XL2007 or above, make sure you save your file as an "Excel Macro-Enabled Workbook (*.xlsm) and answer the "do you want to enable macros" question as "Yes" or "OK" (depending on the button label for your version of Excel) the next time you open your workbook.

Hi Rick,

Just tested on Macro, it works but on blank cell it gives zero Value. I want as it is,
blank for blank, old value = will be old value and for Gold/Silver = Best

I am new in vba, what it means :=> A1:A# and Term Evaluate. which are in your code. Thanks.
