Posting/Including data from another cell.
Within my sheet I have two columns that contain time (hh:mm:ss). In the third cell I am comparing the two columns. If they do not match a statement is posted in a cell stating something is wrong. What I would like to add to the statement is the value from one of the cells containing the time.
This works, with no added data: =IF([Last Poll Time]1 <> [Last Seen]1, = "Rebooting or Failed to return.")
This doesn't work, but gives a better idea of what I am trying to achieve: =IF([Last Poll Time]1 <> [Last Seen]1, = "Rebooting or Failed to return. Last seen at:" = ([Last Seen]1))

Close. Give this a try...
=IF[Last Poll Time]1 <> [Last Seen]1, "Rebooting or Failed to return. Last seen at " + [Last Seen]1)

Thank you for the effort. But it didn't work. The screen shot shows the whats in red working. I am wanting to place the Last Seen time in the comments.

That is because you have included two extra parenthesis out of place along with an extra equals out of place.
instead of ...
=(IF[Last Poll Time]1
you should have
=IF([Last Poll Time]1
.
instead of
[Last Seen 1]) = "Rebooting
you should have
[Last Seen]1, "Rebooting
.
instead of
+ ([Last Seen]1)
you should have
+ [Last Seen]1)
.
Try retyping the formula EXACTLY as below, and let me know how that works...
=IF([Last Poll Time]1 <> [Last Seen]1, "Rebooting or Failed to return. Last seen at " + [Last Seen]1)
.
NOTE: In my previous post, there was a parenthesis missing after the IF. That mistake has been corrected in the formula here.

Solved! And a Big Thank you!
