    Data Validation IF function

    I have attached an excel file (dattest1)
    Col B contains Paid Leave dates for the factory (max 4 days in a month not exceeding 12 days in a year).
    Col D contains calender days.
    The formula in col F checks whether the date is a paid leave ("Yes") or not ("No"). The formula is somewhat lengthy and I
    feel this could be simplified further.
    I have tried to simplify (formula in col E) but the results are incorrect.
    I request the experts to suggest whether the simplification of the formula in col F is possible.

    Re: Formula simplification

    Your post does not comply with Rule 1 of our Forum RULES. Your post title should accurately and concisely describe your problem, not your anticipated solution.

    Use terms appropriate to a Google search. Poor thread titles, like Please Help, Urgent, Need Help, Formula Problem, Code Problem, and Need Advice will be addressed according to the OP's experience in the forum: If you have less than 10 posts, expect (and respond to) a request to change your thread title. If you have 10 or more posts, expect your post to be locked, so you can start a new thread with an appropriate title.

    To change a Title go to your first post, click EDIT then Go Advanced and change your title, if 2 days have passed ask a moderator to do it for you.

    (This thread should receive no further responses until this moderation request is fulfilled, as per Forum Rule 7)

    Re: Data Validation IF function

    I don't understand why you have the public holidays scattered all over the place. It'd make more sense to have them in adjacent cells. However, even in their current arrangement, this shouls simplify matters:

    =IF(ISERROR(MATCH(D33,PHDays,0)),"No","Yes")

    Re: Data Validation IF function

    other alternatives

    =IF(SUMPRODUCT(--($B$3:$B$50=D3)),"Yes","No")

    =IF(COUNTIF($B$3:$B$50,D3),"Yes","No")

    Re: Data Validation IF function

    The last suggestion i.e. =IF(COUNTIF($B$3:$B$50,D3),"Yes","No") works fine. I never imagined that the COUNTIF function can be used like this. Thank you very much for the instant help.
