referencing text in an IF statement
I am trying to use an IF statement to look for text in range of cells but
cannot get it to return the value I want I think because I'm searching for text not a value. If any cell in a column contains the text "Error" I want the cell I'm in to also read "Error". Here's the formula I have but it won't work: =IF(OR(A122:A457="Error"),"Error",""). Any suggestions? |
