Want to compare if cell 1 = "UP" AND cell 2>0 are true, then say OK, if cell
1="up" and cell 2 <0,then say "Bad", other wise say "Wrong"

wmurphyjr, try this,
=IF(AND(A1="up",A2>0),"OK",IF(AND(A1="up",A2<0),"Bad","Wrong"))

When the case is important like here, you can use EXACT() as in:

=IF(AND(EXACT(A1,"UP"),B1>0),"OK",IF(AND(EXACT(A1,"up"),B1<0),"Bad","Wrong"))

Leo, I missed the upper and lower "up", thanks for the catch
