Re: [libreoffice-users] use calc 7 IF command to change some column values?

Dave,

Not sure I'm following your intention but...

This formula:
{=IF(A1:A13>28,0,A1:A13)}

puts the A column value in the corresponding row in column B if that value
is less than 28, otherwise it puts 0 in the column B row.

Note the curly braces surrounding the formula. These cannot be typed in.
The formula will not work if they are. To enter this formula, type it in
without the curly braces and then use Ctrl+Shift+Enter to complete the
formula.

Ctrl+Shift+Enter are the magic keys to create an array formula. Once
formula entry is completed with those keys you will see the formula has the
curly braces, values in A*n* will be in B*n* if they are less than 28,
otherwise 0 will appear in B*n*.
