Using "Verifiers"
I have created what I call "Verifier" formulas in a large workbook to ensure
that my data, as well as my formulas are all acting in the way I intended, I also use them to double check data entry. I use "IF" formulas for all of my verifier cells. [=IF(A1=A2, "OK", "NOT OK")] After the logical test the cell returns either ok, or not ok, using this function with conditional formulas I can easily find errors in my spreadsheets. The problem that I'm running into is that I would like to have a master cell at the top of each of my spreadsheets that can tell me if any of my verifier cells are returning a certain text value (NOT OK). I've tried using EXACT, LOOKUP, and some other formulas but keep running into errors. Does anyone know of a way to accomplish this? (The cells are spread across the spread sheets and are in no particular order.) |

Using "Verifiers"
Hi
You can use countif to count number of cells in a range which is not ok, and if the result is above 0, then return 'Not OK' =IF(COUNTIF(A1:G100,"Not ok")0,"Not OK","OK") Hopes this helps. ....
