Hello,
I want to create an excel where when data is entered in column A it auto-populates data in column B. I tried making a drop-down menu but that is kind of a pain. I would rather just type what I want in column A and have an answer populate with a formula in column B. I have a formula that works, but I am not sure how to add to it to make it work for three different options, if that's possible. Can you please assist?
In column A the only items I will have are:
CAPITAL CALL
DISTRIBUTION
REDEMPTION
In column B I need the following to populate:
Formula I used in column B:
=IF(A4="CAPITAL CALL", "CAPITAL CALL", " ")
