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? *********** Regards, Ron XL2002, WinXP "dan2201" wrote: 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 |

Actually, the formula I posted returns TRUE or FALSE....
This one returns 1 or 0: =--(COUNTIF(1:1,"yes")0) *********** Regards, Ron XL2002, WinXP "Ron Coderre" wrote: Try something like this: =COUNTIF(1:1,"yes")0 Does that help? *********** Regards, Ron XL2002, WinXP "dan2201" wrote: 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 |

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

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? *********** Regards, Ron XL2002, WinXP "dan2201" wrote: 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?

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! dan "Ron Coderre" wrote: 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.

Regarding the =--OR(
The OR function returns TRUE or FALSE. The dbl minus signs (--) force an implicit conversion of TRUE and FALSE to 1 and 0, respectively. Now, about checking if "yes" is in any one of a series of cells.... If the cells are in a selection with only one "area", you can use COUNTIF. Example: =--(COUNTIF(A3:D3,"yes")0) Note: an "area" is a range of cells that forms a rectangle, or only involves cells in a single row, column, or cell. BUT you indicated that you wanted to check: A3:B3 and D4. There are 2 areas in that reference (A3:C3 is one area, D4 is the second). This formula: =--OR(A3="yes",B3="yes",C3="yes",D4="yes") returns 1 if any of those cells contains "yes" Were you looking for something else? *********** Regards, Ron XL2002, WinXP "dan2201" wrote: 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! dan "Ron Coderre" wrote: 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.

ok thanks a lot,
for some reason it's not working but i'll keep on trying...copying the or equation and pasting and then changing the cell values to my own isn't working... I appreciate all your help!

Don't give up just yet....
Post your formula and see if one of us can spot what's going wrong. *********** Regards, Ron XL2002, WinXP "dan2201" wrote: ok thanks a lot, for some reason it's not working but i'll keep on trying...copying the or equation and pasting and then changing the cell values to my own isn't working...
