Referencing a range of columns and rows with the IF function
I am trying to use the following IF function to search a range of cells to
find the number 1 and then return either 1 or leave the cell blank. However, it does not look at the range of cells. A4=IF(A1:AS3=1),1,"" Any sugestions would help. -- Cliff |

If you want to return 1 if 1 occurs anywhere in that range =IF(COUNTIF(A1:AS3,1),1,"") -- daddylonglegs ------------------------------------------------------------------------ daddylonglegs's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...o&userid=30486 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=528879 |

Thanks, but what does the ,1 after the range A1:AS3 stand for?

Referencing a range of columns and rows with the IF function
In this formula =IF(COUNTIF(A1:AS3,1),1,"") the first 1 is what you're counting within the range. If the count is 0 then the formula will return "", i.e. a blank, if the count is anything else, i.e. 1 or higher the formula returns a 1. If you were searching for something else in the range, e.g. a letter x then the formula would be =IF(COUNTIF(A1:AS3,"x"),1,"") -- daddylonglegs ------------------------------------------------------------------------ daddylonglegs's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...o&userid=30486 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=528879 |

Not quite sure what you're saying. Do you want the formula to return a 1 only when there is only a single 1 in the range? If so =IF(COUNTIF(A1:AS3,1)=1,1,"") -- daddylonglegs ------------------------------------------------------------------------ daddylonglegs's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...o&userid=30486 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=528879 |
