Robert i cut a pasted it in "and it works for me" dave -------- Original Message -------- Subject: [mso] Excel 2000 Formula problem Date: Fri, 30 Mar 2007 22:56:43 -0600 From: Robert Carneal <carnealre@xxxxxxxxxxxx>[1] Reply-To: mso@xxxxxxxxxxxxx[2] To: <mso@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>[3] Hello. I have a problem with a DATE assemblage formula that I am missing. I get #VALUE! As the result. Please assume: A1=1932 B1=7 C1=20 And in D1 I havethis formula: =IF(AND(A1<>0,B1<>0,C1<>0),DATE(A1,B1,C1),"Check date") Which I want to result in a display of 1932-07-20. It results in #VALUE! Instead. Does my mistake pop out at anyone? In another cell, I tried: =DATE(1932,7,20) and that works just fine. It shows 1932-07-20. Yes, I know if the numbers were: A1=1732 B1=7 C1=20 Instead, the date function would not work. I am working another way to handle the dates before Microsoft's date birth. Another question: In Excel 2000, is there a max tests I can put with AND ?? For example, could I use nine tests with AND? Thank you.
