    feeling silly but cant get it

    if a2="2" then add 120 to data in cell b2.

    This should be simple, but I am just not able to wrap my head around it toady.

    It would be
    = IF(A2 = 2, B2 + 120, B2)

    But a formula cannot reference it's own cell as part of the calculation otherwise you get a Circular Reference error. You can only have the formula in another cell other than B2.

    Or maybe I read it wrong and the formula is in another cell; If so, then that is the formula.

    It's getting late...

    Just for fun
    Enable iterative calculation (Option => Formulas)
    Set maximum iterations: 1
    A2: =IF(B2=120,0,2)
    B2: =IF(A2=2,A2+120,0)
    Refresh
