RE: Need Help On If function

Gene 
great idea! I thought I would ask here first but it seems to be a simple 
function left out of the program. Perhaps they will add it to their 
suggestions.

  >>>NeoThe 'If' function is simply a true/false 
  function.If, as an example, you wanted to know the volume on up 
  days:If(C>O,V,0)and you wanted to eliminate the '0' you can simply 
  rewrite the formula asV*(C>O)This will give you the same result. 
  The true statement returns a 1.Thereforemultiplication of the true 
  expression by the desired result will give youthedesired result and 
  nothing else.Jim<<<JimInteresting way to look 
  at it but it seems it would result in the sameproblem. If the logical 
  expression is false then the entire expression wouldreturn a 0 which is 
  the same problem. I want a simple If Then rather than anIf Then Else so 
  that if the expression is not true then nothing would beplotted. I think 
  MS needs to add an If Then expression. This way if theexpression were true 
  then the formula would be executed. If it were not truethen nothing would 
  happen rather than have a 0 returned.Thanks,
