First, thanks to pdberger and Ron Rosenfeld for my earlier question.
This is sort of the opposite problem:

On Sheet1, starting with A1 is a 2 column table:

Standby -
Minimum -
Moderate X
Full -

On Sheet2 I want to enter a string of text in a cell if ANY of the
cells in Sheet1!B1 to B4 contain an "X". If none of the cells contain
the "X", then I want to enter nothing ("").

Any takers? Thanks in advance!

Sharon
