countif function
 

Hi

can someone help me with a countif function

this one works - =if(countif(D2:D23,A15)=1," ",ROW())

however if I use more than one range it doesn't allow the formula

I tried to incorporate D2:D5, E5, F4

I tried this - = if(countif(D2:D5, E5, F4)=1," ",ROW())
it doesn't allow the formula

any help

thanks

Hi,

First define names to the ranges.

D2:D5=Rng1,
E5=Rng2 and
F4=Rng3
and the formula

=IF(SUM(COUNTIF(INDIRECT({"rng1","rng2","rng3"}),A 15))=1," ",ROW())

confirmed with Ctrl+Shift+Enter
