R help - Apr 2000 - USING @IF FUNCTIONS ?

JOHN GOLFIS

HI I AM A REGULAR USER OF EXCEL RECENTLY I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO USE LOTUS !
MY PROBLEM IS THAT IF I AM USING THE @IF STATMENT WHEN I GET THE RESULT IT'S
OK, BUT IF I WANT TO THEN MULTIPLY OR USE ANY OTHER BASIC MATHS FUNCTION IE
(+ - /) IT ONLY GIVES ME A RESULT OF ZERO.  I HAVE BEEN USING IT TO DEVELOP
A BASIC ROSTER SYSTEM THAT RECOGNISES STAFF AGES BASED ON THEIR DOB AND THE
@NOW STATEMENT.
ONCE WE HAVE DETERMINE THEIR AGE USING THE @IF STATEMENT I THEN MULTIPLY BY
THE NUMBER OF HOURS WORKED.

PLEASE HELP ME OUT IF YOU CAN ?


THANKS

What makes you post this stuff to our mailing list ?
We have (almost) nothing to do with Excel or Lotus.
