Applying IF function for non-numeric values

**wael_afifi** · 06-17-2013, 02:31 PM

Hi
If I want to use IF function to calculate the value for a non numerical logical value, what will be the correct formula.
Like if I have in B3, question saying that:
Did the candidate follow the correct protocol?
And in C3, I have a dropdown list with the Yes/No
In D3, I would be giving the Yes answer a “60%” while for the No answer it would be “0”

D3: =IF(C3="Yes", 60%, 0%)

Regards, TMS
