Need help with formula to check a checkbox when any one of five fields are blank.

The formula that I've tried is:

=IF(ISBLANK(OR([Project Description]@row, 

    [Active/Inactive]@row, 

    [External / Internal Communications]@row, 

    Department@row, 

    [Business / Functional Owner]@row), 1, 0))


I'm receiving #INCORRECT ARGUMENT error.

    Hi @Sherry Moran

    I hope you're well and safe!

    Try something like this.

    Option 1.

    =IF(OR([Project Description]@row = "", [Active/Inactive]@row = "", [External / Internal Communications]@row = "", Department@row = "", [Business / Functional Owner]@row = ""), 1, 0)

    Option 2 if the columns are beside each other.

    =IF(COUNTIFS([Business / Functional Owner]@row:Departments@row, "") > 0, 1)

    Did that work/help?

    I hope that helps!

    Be safe, and have a fantastic weekend!

    Best,
