IF, Or, And, or what
 

Attempting to get a formula to work, with no luck;
Dates will be input into cells G5, H5, I5, and J5.
Formula goes into G6 so that if any of the above four cells in blank, a 0
(zero) is put into G6, if they are all populated return a 1 (one).
I tried =IF(ISBLANK(OR(A1,B1,C1,D1)),"0",1), but it returns a 1 under all
circumstances. This is obviously the wrong approach.
Any suggestions greatly appreciated.

Sorry, I am going nuts. The formula I tried is

=IF(ISBLANK(OR(G5,H5,I5,J5)),"0",1)

My apologies.

Try:

=IF(COUNTA(A1:D1)<4,0,1)

You're Welcome.

ISBLANK can only be used with one cell a s cannot cover an array. To use it
the way that you were trying to you would have to use it like:

=IF(OR(ISBLANK(A1),ISBLANK(B1),ISBLANK(C1),ISBLANK (D1)),0,1)

Or in G6 type:

=IF(MIN(G5:J5)=0,0,1)

Just an alternative way
