This is a good opportunity to point out one of Excel's quirks.

The above *will not* count *TEXT* entries "false" It will count boolean
FALSE. In fact, both of these will *only* count boolean FALSE:

COUNTIF(Sheet1!L14:Q14,"false")
COUNTIF(Sheet1!L14:Q14,FALSE)

To count *TEXT* "false" you have to coerce it to recognize that it's TEXT
you want to count:

COUNTIF(Sheet1!L14:Q14,"false*")

I have a row of cells (i.e., L14:Q14) on Worksheet 1 whose possible

are either: 0, 1, 3, 5, "false". On Worksheet 2, for a particular cell,
I'd
like to return a value of "X" if the values in row 14 of Worksheet 1 are
either a "5" or "false" (note, they have to all be either a 5 or false),
otherwise, if they are not all either a "5" or "false" then I'd like to
return a blank, " " on Worksheet 2.

Thanks in advance for any advice.
