Good thing to know. Kind'a thought that was the case... I've actually been monitoring the list a little for some time now... but hadn't sent anything.

Actually sending thie message, I grabbed the address to post straight off someone else's post. My issue HERE may be that I'm using a different computer than the one I registered on.

Re: Formula construction help
First, thanks to ALL of you for your responses & courtesy. Second, I don't know how to tell / determine what kind of document it is... between database or ... "Calc'... whatever distinguishes. Third, from the Get Info box... on one ( Macbook ) computer, I'm using ... Version: OpenOffice 4.1.8 AOO418m3 (Build:9803) ...and on a different computer ( a more often used iMac) Version: 3.1.1 (Build: 9420) The formula I should have used works logically elsewhere outside OO, but not in the OO document. When asking originally, I errored using the above as a two part formula... that actually contained a problem in the first place. Apologies for the mistaken way I described my predicament originally. Mathematically I could / should have written it as... If K102 < 14 then L102 = "Yes", else L102 = "No" ... but I most certainly still do not understand how to make that work right in my document. I can set up a simplified version if that helps everything... and if it's ok to send it to the list. So, that's where things are...and most certainly I do appreciate the input / feedback / help. Thanks again for everyone's input and courtesy. Don On Saturday, November 4, 2023 at 08:00:25 PM EDT, 許哲崇 wrote: We may have common interest. So, please keep me informed.

Formula construction help
Hi everyone I'm working on a database that has a group of basic formulas to get needed values. I'd like to configure a "Yes / No' location (set of adjacent cells) to identify if a value is greater than / less than a boundary. If > 14 then report "No". If < or = 10 then report "Yes". My only issue is not knowing how to construct the formula correctly. Any help appreciated. Thanks Don Using a couple different versions of OO on 3 different older Macs. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@openoffice.apache.org
