The if statement format is =if(condition=true,true statement/action,false statement/action). For example column d has the BMI data, a possible if statement is =if(d230,D2,). The execution is to determine if the value in D2 is greater than 30, if true copy the value of D2 into the cell and if false enter nothing. The last is a method so you have a column of numbers and empty cells for functions like sum, average. If you need to reference a cell on another sheet you use this notation sheetname.cell or if you are referencing cell b3 on sheet3, sheet3.b3. and in the formula =if(sheet3.b334,something,something else) If you leave the true action or more commonly the false action, the result in the cell will be TRUE or FALSE. Example, =if(b235,,a2+b2) and =if(b235,a2+b2). In the first example your answer is TRUE or a2+b2 and in the second is a2+b2 or FALSE. The TRUE and FALSE are Boolean values not characters, a common trait in spreadsheets and one that catch new users. If you want a text value you must use true and false (upper case if desired). Note also, in the second example the false clause was omitted but there must be a true clause. -- Jay Lozier jsloz...@gmail.com -- For unsubscribe instructions e-mail to: users+h...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
