Custom formatting advice
Good Morning.
I have come across a problem with custom formatting.
I have created checklists to use in our workplace. questions are simply answered with yes/no or N/A using drop down menus. feedback is to change it, so when you type "1" it returns yes, "2" would return NO and "3" would return N/A ( or different word if needed).
I have used custom cell format to achieve yes or no with : [=1]"Yes";[=2]"No"; unfortunately, it does not work when I try to add third option. is this only allowed for two options? or I am doing something wrong?

Try this custom number format:
[=1]"Yes";[=2]"No";"N/A"
If the user enters anything else than 1 or 2, the cell will display N/A.
IS it possible to make one that does this:
Enter:
1 is "Dismisssed"
2 is "In Progress"
3 is "Settlement"
4 is "Guilty"- [=1]"Dismissed";[=2]"In Progress"
[=3]"Settlement";[=4]"Guilty"
I tried the above, but 3 and 4 dont work 1 and 2 do
