Default bunch of "yes" or "no" entered in row, output 1 if a single yes

I have a bunch of yes and no's (sometimes only no's or yes's) entered in row,
I want to check the row and output 1 if there's a single yes in the row

Try something like this:

=COUNTIF(1:1,"yes")0

Does that help?

Actually, the formula I posted returns TRUE or FALSE....

This one returns 1 or 0:
=--(COUNTIF(1:1,"yes")0)

thanks ron!
however, is there a way i can put a bunch of cell coordinates into the
formula to see if there are any values of "yes"?
such as, check A3, B3, C3, and D4 to see if there is a "yes" amongst a bunch
of "no"
is that clear?
Thanks again!

This is all I can think of, right now:

=--OR(A3="yes",B3="yes",C3="yes",D4="yes")

That's only ok for a short list of cells, though.

Is that something you can work with?

doesn't seem to be working...what are the two dashes after the equal sign?
anything that'll perhaps count the "yes" values in a series of cells?
thanks!
