For instance. If the word "Holiday" appears in blocks A1 through A200, then in cell B2 it would return a value of "taken" if it doesn't appear in that range then return a value of "Need to take" how can this be done. I have been able to use the IF function to return the desired outcome for only one of the cells, but when I attemp to use a range of cells it will not work. Please help. |
