IF formula

Hi,

Please can you help me understand how to do the following?

I have an equation (as below) to return “Yes” if there is an “X” in columns F-N

=IF(OR(F218="X",G218="X",H218="X",I218="X",J218="X",K218="X",L218="X",M218="X",N218="X"), "Yes","")

My equation works fine however the issue is that my range has not extended to columns F-BG making this an extensively long and lengthy equation.

I am unable to share the actual file however please can I ask what is the best or easiest formula to do this please? Many thanks

Hi Kay,

Thank you for the forum question.

Try:

=If(countif(f218:bg218,"X")>1,"yes","")
