In this formula

=IF(COUNTIF(A1:AS3,1),1,"")

the first 1 is what you're counting within the range. If the count is 0
then the formula will return "", i.e. a blank, if the count is anything
else, i.e. 1 or higher the formula returns a 1.

If you were searching for something else in the range, e.g. a letter x
then the formula would be

=IF(COUNTIF(A1:AS3,"x"),1,"")
