How to add another sheet reference into IF formula...

Hi! I just want to add another sheet reference into the below IF formula... It might need an AND statement, but I could not find a solution for it.

=IF(CONTAINS(Number@row, {Sessions 1 Range 1}), "True", "False")

Any ideas?

Would need more information about what you are trying to do to know for sure but it sounds like you would need a nested if statement

If(Contains(number@row,{Sessions 1 Range 1}),If(Contains(number@row,{Sessions 2 Range 1},"True","False"))

Thanks for your feedback! I'll try to use the nested IF statement as you proposed, see here:

=IF(CONTAINS(Number@row, {Sessions 1 Range 1}), IF(CONTAINS(Number@row, {Sessions 2 Range 1}, "True", "False")))

Unfortunately with an Error saying "#INCORRECT ARGUMENT SET".

Basically I want to check if a certain cell in multiple sheets has the same value as in a certain cell (Number column) in the main sheet where the formula is located.

Try an IF/OR.

=IF(OR(CONTAINS(sheet1), CONTAINS(sheet2), CONTAINS(sheet3)), "True", "False")

Ok, this one did not work...

=IF(OR(CONTAINS(Number@row), CONTAINS ({Sessions 1 Range 1}), CONTAINS ({Sessions 2 Range 1})) "True", "False")

Any suggestions?

You would use the same CONTAINS syntax you have in your first formula. Just update the range in each for sheet 1, sheet 2, etc..

I can't make it work... struggle with the syntax. Can you correct this formula accordingly?

=IF(OR(CONTAINS(Number@row), CONTAINS ({Sessions 1 Range 1}), CONTAINS ({Sessions 2 Range 1})) "True", "False")

Thanks for your help! I really appreciate it.

You already have the proper syntax for CONTAINS in your original formula:

CONTAINS(Number@row, {Sessions 1 Range 1})

You would use that same syntax but create new cross sheet references in each to point at each of the sheets in question.

Thanks Paul, it worked now! :-)
