=IF formula question

Katherine Camacho

Hi,

I wanted to use a formula to input a Pass or Fail dependent on if one of the columns to the left of the score showed a f. If any of those columns show an f it would need to read Fail. Help?

Hi @Katherine Camacho

Instead of highlighting the entire column, you'll want your range to go from the very far left cell in this row to the closest right cell in this row. So, this would be your range:

[Medical Necessity]@row:[Collection Plan]@row

I would also use a COUNTIF Function to COUNT the number of cells that say either "F" or "Fail" depending on how you'll set this up. Then if the COUNT is greater than 0, return "Fail".

Try something like this:

=IF(COUNTIF([Medical Necessity]@row:[Collection Plan]@row, "Fail") > 0, "Fail", "Pass")

Cheers!
