Please don't hijack other peoples' threads, especially when your question apparently doesn't even relate to the same application. I've split your post off into a new Excel thread.

From your description, it looks like the formula you need might be:
=IF(DD2="Y",19,0)
or:
=IF(DD2="Y",19,IF(DD2="N",0,""))
