Nested IF statement
 

I am working in Excel 2003. Cell A1 can contain several different words
(WHOLE, SKIM, ETC). B1, C1, D1 and E1 can contain either the words "YES" or
"NO". If A1 contains the word "WHOLE" and B1, C1, D1 and E1 all contain
the word "YES", I need to put the word "CORRECT" in F1. I am having
difficulty nesting the IF statements and would appreciate any help. Thanks,

Ricki

This might suffice for your intents to check responses in B1:E1
In F1: =IF(COUNTIF(B1:E1,"Yes")=4,"Correct","")

Well, the following would suffice for the example above. In F1:

=if(and(A1="whole",B1="yes",C1="yes",D1="yes",E1=" yes"), "correct",
"")

However, if your more-general problem is more complex that you
described, you might need a different kind of solution.

Try it this way:

=IF(AND(A1="WHOLE",COUNTIF(B1:E1,"YES")=4),"CORREC T","wrong")

Hope this helps.
