Hello there,

You could try and combine the And function with the IF
functions:

y = the check mark you choose
"" = Blanks

=IF(AND(A1="y",B1="y",C1="y",D1="y",E="y"),"All values
are checked",IF(AND(A1="",B1="",C1="",D1="",E=""),"All
values are blank","There are some checks"))

The AND function gives a True if all the conditions are
met and a False if one of them is not met. You can have
upto 30 conditions in an AND function.

Hope this helps

Greetings,

I do tech support (Exchange) for a school district, and
I have been
approached with an Excel question by one of the users. I
am fairly skilled
with Excel, but formulas are a weakness for me. In a
simplified form, here
is the problem.

cells A1:E1 list the names of school

cells A2:E2 list a value (in this case, a checkmark)

that the end user is looking for in cell F2 is a formula
that will look at
cells A2:E2, and if all the cells are checked, will
return one value, if all
the cells are unchecked, will return a second value, and
if only some are
checked, will return a third value.

Any thoughts? I have tried playing with IF formulas, but
have not had much
success. Thanks In Advance. -Drew
