I have 3 cells, containing either yes or no. I want to calculation where
sum
of cells is no, no, yes (answer is No), or yes, yes yes (answer is yes)
essentially where answers are all yes then the returned sum is Yes and
where
the 3 cells are either no or less then 3 yes then the answer would be no.
