place an "x" in D2 if E2-I2 are empty of text??
I am working on a spreadsheet that I created to audit employee files. If
their file is missing something (physical, background check, etc..) I need a visual flag. Usually the items trickle in and I delete my comments in the column one-by-one. So I am trying to create a formula that places an "x" in column D after all items are received. Any advice is appreciated. Thank you! |

Hi,
Try something like =IF(COUNTA(E2:I2)<5,"Missing Info","X") You can replace Missing Info with "" which will show blank until all the data is recieved. If this helps, please click the Yes button, cheers, Shane Devenshire "Denise" wrote: I am working on a spreadsheet that I created to audit employee files.

Hi,
Not quite sure if you want the x to appear if the other columns are all full or all empty. Try =IF(COUNTA(E2:I2)=5,"x","") or =IF(COUNTA(E2:I2)=5,"","x") Dave url:http://www.ureader.com/msg/104241977.aspx |

We have a lot of columns that we put notes in because more than one person
uses that spreadsheet. Once an item is received we delete the comments in that cell. To save the time that it takes to scroll to the right (for 1000's of employees) and check for missing credentials I thought it would be a cince if I coded one of the first cells that appears when I open the sheet to let me know that this file is complete. So to answer your question: I need to know when all of my flagged cells for that employee have been cleared. I was able to accomplish that with Biff's code. Yours looks very similar to his but I have not tried it yet. Thanks for replying all the same!

place an "x" in D2 if E2-I2 are empty of text??
Should I post this as a new question even though it concerns the same project?
Is there any way to use the Date variable to change the color of an entire row if 30-days have past and there isn't an "x" in my control column? Basically if all of their items have not been turned in before a certain time...we will find a more obvious flag like a gray background for that employee's row? "T.

You can do this using conditional formatting.
Let's assume A1:A10 = dates, B1:B10 = X or empty Select the range of cells A1:B10 Goto the menu FormatConditional Formatting Select the Formula Is option Enter this formula in the box on the right: =AND(TODAY()-30$A1,$B1<"X") Click the Format button Select the Patterns tab and pick the fill color of your choice OK out -- Biff Microsoft Excel MVP "Denise" wrote in message ...

Thank you very much -It worked like magic! One more question: How could I add
one more condition to the first code ...=IF(COUNTA(E2:I2),"","X") to allow the cells with "n/a" to be treated as if they were empty? I can't delete the "n/a" or it might confuse someone else looking in the spreadsheet. Valko" wrote: You can do this using conditional formatting.

I assume N/A is a text entry and not the error value #N/A.
Try this: =IF(COUNTA(E2:I2)-COUNTIF(E2:I2,"n/a")=0,"X","") -- Biff Microsoft Excel MVP "Denise" wrote in message ... I am working on a spreadsheet that I created to audit employee files.
