    data completeness validation?

    Hi excel people, I wonder if someone can give some tips for validating the completeness of my data ... here's my query:

    sheet 1 is an input sheet and shows the sales units

    sheet 2 is also an input sheet and shows sales prices

    sheet 3 is a product of the two and should show calculated income

    I say should because if sheet 2 is missing the price then the calculated income will be nil!

    Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

    Thx

    In sheet3 where its calculating the income (sales x price)..

    Just replace that formula with an if formula like:

    say sales volume = Sheet1!D25
    say price = Sheet3!D25

    in your sheet3 income sheet:


    If (Sheet1!D25> 0, IF (Sheet3!D25 > 0, Sheet1!D25 * Sheet3!D25,"No Price"),"No Volume")

    here's an incredibly simplified version (main difference being amount of information and that sheet 1 & 2 also contain formula linked to another workbook.

    Something like

    =IF(AND(units!B2="",price!B2=""),"No price or Volume",IF(units!B2="","No volume",IF(price!B2="","No Price",price!B2*units!B2)))
    in B2 and copied down and across

    Regards
