    Formula for IF / OR

    Hi there,

    I have a column which returns one of three things: Not Started, In Progress, Complete.

    I want the cell adjacent to have a formula which says something like If A2="Not Started",1. If A2="In Progress",2. If A2="Complete","".

    This is so I can apply a traffic light conditional formatting based the cells value being 1 2 or blank.

    Help!

    Jemma

    if you only have three conditions a slightly shorter version is =IF(A2="Not Started",1,IF(A2="In Progress",2,""))
