Default Need help with formula (IF or perhaps array)

We did a survey and put the responses in Excel (2003). Responses to questions
1-3 have a qualifier. In other words, the response either €œYes€ or €œNo€ is
based on a qualifier 1, 2, or 3. Heres a sample of our tabulation
spreadsheet:

A B C D E
1 Q1 Q2 Q3 Tab
2 Joe Yes,1 No,3 Yes,1 No
3 Bill Yes,2 Yes,3 Yes,1 Yes


The final tabulation is €œNo€ if €œNo,x€ is listed in any of the 3 columns.

I want to enter a formula in the Tab column that will look for €œNo€ in the 3
Q columns and if found in any will return €œNo€ and if not found in any will
return €œYes€.

Ive tried =IF(ISNUMBER(FIND(€œNo€,B2:D2))),€No€,€Ye s€) but it does not work.
It returns €œYes€ for all rows. Ive tried enclosing the formula in braces and
running as an array but that doesnt work either.

Thanks for your help.
