Default Using IF in an array

Would like to use the IF worksheet function to scan a column to determine if
any of the cells contain a certain entry and if so, to display a message.
Excel Help mentions that this can be done, but does not give any details on
how to do it.
Thanks for any help.

Default Using IF in an array

Hi!

Try this:

=IF(COUNTIF(A1:A10,"xx"),"your_message_here","")

Replace xx with the certain entry.

If the certain entry is a TEXT string enclose it in quotes like above. If
the certain entry is a NUMERIC value do not enclose it in quotes.
