    @DJNelson Hey, Dave! You will want to use this formula:

    =IF(CONTAINS("Late", Status72:Status84), "This Project Is Late", "")

    This will return the message "This Project Is Late" and place it in row 71 if any of the Status columns from rows 72 thru 84 are marked as Late.

    I hope this helps!
