I have a spredsheet were I need to to do two tests, and bring back one of three results. Consider this:

<TABLE style="WIDTH: 359pt; BORDER-COLLAPSE: collapse" cellSpacing=0 cellPadding=0 width=478 border=0><COLGROUP><COL style="WIDTH: 48pt" width=64><COL style="WIDTH: 71pt; mso-width-source: userset; mso-width-alt: 3437" width=94><COL style="WIDTH: 48pt" span=5 width=64><TBODY><TR style="HEIGHT: 15pt" height=20><TD class=xl65 style="BORDER-RIGHT: windowtext 0.5pt solid; BORDER-TOP: windowtext 0.5pt solid; BORDER-LEFT: windowtext 0.5pt solid; WIDTH: 48pt; BORDER-BOTTOM: windowtext 0.5pt solid; HEIGHT: 15pt; BACKGROUND-COLOR: transparent" width=64 height=20>P.O.

test one: If the item number is 9999999, return "Not received" to the result field and stop.

test two (If the item number is anything else). IF the received quantity is 0 the result is "RTV" otherwise the reuslt is "Shortage"

I have tried using nested if as well as "AND". When I use the AND I get the #REF error.

Any suggestions?

Welcome to the board...

Try

=IF(D2=9999999,"Not recieved",If(F2=0,"RTV","Shortage"))

D2 = item#
F2 = received quantity
