Hi, everyone. I am new to the excel spreadsheets system and I have a problem imputting a simple formula.

If I type: =IF(H9<1.49,''LAY'','''')

then it says there is an error in the formula. The 'LAY' word starts flashing and I suppose that is the problem.

I would appreciate if you can give me a clue as to what might be the problem. Thanks a lot in advance!

The problem might be in you Excel settings. Depending on your settings, you need to take a semicolon ";" instead of the comma "," to separate the different constituents of the IF-Formula. Similarly, you might then need to exchange also the decimal point "1.49" by a comma "1,49".

Hope that helps, cheers, F

Your formula looks fine to me.

However, I noticed you have used double single quotes (') rather than a single double quote (").

It is important you use the latter.

Regarding the decimal separator, this depends upon your regional version and settings.
