I had another play with this LO logic buster this morning.

Whilst in Lotus 123 would only need  @IF(A1>10,"True","False")

the way LO works the formula needs to be:-( placed in say B1 looking at cell A1) to cater for LO's rationale and possibly to cover prior versions.

=IF(A1="","",IF(A1>N,"",IF(A1>10,"True","False")))

N has to max out above any number in your list (eg 10000000) as it would appear that any Letter is seen by LO as greater than the highest possible number, to block this and to prevent the table seeing Letters as Numbers you need N. With N in place, if you type in a letter into cell A1, then B1 remains blank and does not to give a false positive (or negative).

Got it

Regina is correct, so:-

=IF(A1>50,"False",IF(A1>10,"True","False"))

Where 50 (or 1000)  is higher than any number in your table

Alejo

The strange thing is is that if you reverse the logic such as =IF(A1<11 and then reverse the True & False

You get the same results table and but with A still being TRUE

I am convinced this is a bug, which stops you writing an IF within an IF such as =IF(A1<11,"False",IF(A1>10,"True","False")) which should work - but it doesn't.

Hi all, this is a little example to show what is going on.
In A column I have a numeric list from 1 to 21, in the middle I have a
letter, lets put A.
If a run this function in the next column =IF(A1>10), this function
evaluate the letter A like TRUE, why?


1    FALSE
2    FALSE
3    FALSE
4    FALSE
5    FALSE
6    FALSE
7    FALSE
8    FALSE
9    FALSE
10  FALSE
11  TRUE
A   TRUE
13  TRUE
14  TRUE
15  TRUE
16  TRUE
17  TRUE
18  TRUE
19  TRUE
20  TRUE
21 TRUE

Thanks a lot in advance
