Hi all,

We have a spreadsheet that we use to mark people on their jobs.

There is a summary page and then a page for each employee with a template on, if they achieve a certain criteria there is a drop down box that give you a yes or a no, option, this word then appears in the cell. The yes or no is worth a % of a final score.

On the summary page I want to fetch that yes or no and then, depending on what is written print out the % in that cell so they can be added up at the end.

I figured the IF statement would be best to use:

=IF(Employee1!D8=yes, 10, 0)

In this case, the yes is worth 10% of their final score. I couldn't get it to accept the formula for ages and now it does i only get #NAME? appear in the cell.

Anyone any ideas what I am doing wrong? Is it the drop down box that is an issue?
 
You are missing quotation marks around the test string.

Try =if(employee1!D8="Yes", 10, 0)
