Maybe an array is needed?
 

Morning,
I have eight cells that return a text message if certain conditions are met.
Those eight cells have a named range, Range_1. Currently the formula I have
tests just one cell for that string; =IF(G20=msg, "XXX", ""). I would like
to enhance this formula to test if any of the cells in Range_1 result in that
string (a named range msg), and if so display a more detailed message now
€œXXX€�, elsewhere. I am trying to work through an array, currently
unsuccessfully.

Sincerely,
Arturo

Maybe an array is needed?
 

=IF(OR(Range_1=msg),"XXX","") array-entered.
