Formula to Ignore a N/A if selected from a dropdown, and not break the rest of the formula
I need to add another scenario to one of y formulas,
If one of the departments does not have to approve a certain type of change, they will choose N/A from the drop-down. So I will need the Approval Status column to IGNORE the N/A in that row. So if only 3 people needed to approve it choosing then the non approvers choose N/A and the Approval Status will still show Approved.
Thanks for the help

can you do a COUNTIF of the number of approved statuses and see if its greater than your required total?
It's hard to answer without seeing your data

Thanks

Hi Mark,
You can also count the N/A's as "Approved" by adding a separate COUNTIF statement. Something like:
IF((COUNTIF([ColumnA]#:[ColumnF]#,"N/A") + COUNTIF([ColumnA]#:[ColumnF]#,"Approved"))=6,"Approved","Not Approved")
