There might be a better way, however this is one way.

=IF(OR(A1B1,A2B2,A3B3,A4B4,A5B5,A6B6,A7B7,A 8B8,A9B9,A10B10),"Out
of Range","In Range")

I noticed that your ranges all start with "0". In order for the above
formula to work, the range has to be the highest number in the range. For
example, the first range would just be "1", the second "2", the third "1",
the fourth "8", and so on. If you have to have it displayed as "0-1", then
you could use a custom format on the cells. Right-click the range cells and
select Format Cells. Select 'Custom'. Under 'Type, enter "0-0" (no
quotes)

OK - I have about 15 different cells which contain numerical values. If
any of the cells are outside of the ranges I have set up with
validation, then I would like a text phrase to appear at the bottom of
the document.

I can use the "if" function to program the text phrase to appear, but
it only works with up to seven of the cells. Someone indicated that the
lookup function may work, but I can't seem to get it to.

Any ideas? See below for more info.

Value Range
1 0-1
2 0-2
3 0-1
4 0-8
5 0-2
6 0-2
7 0-1
8 0-9
9 0-3
10 0-7

In this example, since # 3 is outside of the spec. range, I would like
the text "Out of Range" to appear at the bottom of the worksheet. The
"out of range" needs to be entered if ANY of the values are outside of
the spec. range.

The example above is greatly simplified. The actual values and ranges
are not all in the same row or columns.

Any help is GREATLY appreciated
