Where do you want an answer. Here or worksheet functions. In the future,
please do NOT post in more than one group as most of us who help read them
all.

this might work...assuming your list starts in column a2...

=IF((SUMPRODUCT(--($J$2:$J$65536=A2))+SUMPRODUCT(--($K$2:$K$65536=A2))+SUMPRODUCT(--($L$2:$L$65536=A2))+SUMPRODUCT(--($M$2:$M$65536=A2))+SUMPRODUCT(--($N$2:$N$65536=A2)))0,"Yes","No")
