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"

In sch a custom number format, you can use only two sections of the form
[=value]format
So instead of formatting the value itself, use a formula in another cell to display "Dismissed" etc.
