Hi to all Betangel users

I may have set up the excel script incorrectly
as it doesn't seem to place the bet either before or inplay the race

"IF(G11<1.40,"BACK","")
When you select the odds to back and the stake value
To the right where it should be empty or showing PLACED it shows ERROR
Any ideas as I am stuck at the moment?

Thanks for the reply, no error message just
The word ERROR in the cell which should show PLACED when the bet has taken
Many thanks

I think the cell contents should read:

=IF(G11<1.40,"BACK","")


Not sure where the first " came from:

"IF(G11<1.40,"BACK","")

Many many thanks for all your help!
Just trying to build on it now. I was literally tearing my hair out trying to make it work!
It's a scary business these Excel formulas, but when you get more confident with it I am sure it will work out ok.
Just didnt want to see the pot disappear before my very eyes! ha ha. Yea, I know its easy enough to do that anyway.
Thanks again, no doubt I will be asking about the next stage soon.
Richard.
