    Formula help. Different result dependent on answer

    Hi,

    I would like to write a formula which allows the user to put in the control
    data as either a % or £ sterling. For example:

    Rent £100 in year 1.

    For year 2 they either know the % increase or have a fixed figure, IE £200.

    Is there a formula which would identify whether they have entered a % or £
    figure?

    Thanks

    Ian

    Not really unless they use text where you could look for the text strings,
    otherwise it is just numbers with different formats (displays), there is a
    function called cell("format") but that would not be very stable

    The percentage values will (hopefully) be less than or equal to 1 (100%)
    The money value (hopefully) will be more than £1.00
    So =IF(B1<=1, "Percent","Loot")
    best wishes
