Search doesn't seem to be working so forgive me if there is this topic already. I have done google searches and found nothing.
I have a data sheet with four columns:
LOW HIGH STREET MESSAGE
100 200 Any Street Request added for 100-200 Any Street
400 700 Washington Request added for 400-700 Washington
600 300 Elm Error LOW must be lower than HIGH
MESSAGE is entered manually. What I would like to do it have MESSAGE
be dependent on the others like this:
Request added for $LOW-$HIGH
so if LOW and HIGH change I don't have to update message. I still have to type the error case. What would really be nice is something like
if LOW < HIGH
then
Request added for $LOW-$HIGH
else
Error LOW must be lower than HIGH
end
but that won't really work so well because I will have other errors like LOW is blank or HIGH is blank. But if I could at least make MESSAGE dependent on the LOW and HIGH I could copy it and the few places where there are exceptions I could just overwrite it. How can I do this?
Thanks
Sorry, the columns did not line up so well ;-) Let me try with underscores to preserve spaces
LOW____HIGH____STREET___________MESSAGE
100_____200_____Any Street________Request added for 100-200 Any Street
