    Very basic Excel 'IF' formula....am dissapointed to have to ask the solution to.

    Dear Spreadsheet Superiors,

    Objective is to fill cells in Column 'C'.

    If a cell in Column 'B', has the word 'Yes', then the adjacent cells in column C, are populated with the values(text), from column A. Screen shot attached.

    I thought the correct Formula, entered into cells in column 'C', was : =IF(B2=''Yes'',A2). But this does not work.

    Any thoughts greatly appreciated.

    Thanks.

    Hi,
    =IF(B2="Yes",A2,"")
    You should use " " " notation not single " ' " two times .

    This works for me on your sheet -

    =IF(B2="Yes",A2,"")
