how can I calculate cells containing words yes or no
 

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.

how can I calculate cells containing words yes or no
 

One way...
=IF(LEN(B5)+LEN(C5)+LEN(D5)=9,B5,"No")

For A10, A1, A12:

In cell B10 enter:
=IF((A10="yes")*(A11="yes")*(A12="yes"),"yes","no" )

Try this:

=IF(COUNTIF(A1:C1,"Yes")=3,"Yes","No")

Assumes your Yes/No values are in cells A1 to C1.

Hope this helps.

One more, if the cells are adjacent eg A1:A3,
=IF(COUNTIF(A1:A3,"Yes")=3,"Yes","No")
If not,
=IF(AND(A1="Yes",A6="Yes",A13="Yes"),"Yes","No")

That's really good! Most innovative and surprisingly simple. A prime example
of "That obvious, why didn't I think of that?"

yet another one:

=IF(COUNITF(A1:A3,"no"),"no","yes")

assuming the cells may be only populated with yes and/or no

;-)

I'm puzzled, why no array formulas? <g...

Good question!

=IF(AND(A1:C1="yes"),"yes","no")

A little bit shorter...

Well, if we are assuming stray spaces, then your formula would fail with any
cell containing yes<space. I would think neither of us has to worry,
though, as the OP specifically said "I have 3 cells, containing either yes
or no" with no mention of trailing space characters.<g

Brian, I have 3 columns A is all the yes's B is all the No's and C is the
person's names. I would like to put a formula in columb A & B to count the
yes's and no's. Hope i explained that one right :0) thanks for helping
