I have four columns
A1=Name
B1=Y
C1=
D1=Y

(Y mean yes and blank means no in celss B-D)

What i would like to do is for excel to compare cells B, C, and D and
return the name in A1 if B1 is blank and there is a Y in C1.

Please help...Thanks!

Try to use the following formula:

=If(and(B1="",C1="Y"),A1,"")

(There is no comparison for cell D1 in your question)
