    Helper column

    Hello
    I need a helper column that will return a Fail for all if there is one fail per ID or if no fails then all Passes or whatever is in that column C:

    ID: Question #: Pass/Fail: New Pass/Fail:
    123 1 Pass Fail
    123 2 Pass Fail
    123 3 Fail Fail
    345 1 Pass Pass
    345 2 Pass Pass
    345 3 Pass Pass


    Thank you

    Is this what you're after. I assumed you need all passes for an ID to pass and any fail would lead to a fail overall.

    See if this works for you:

    =IF(COUNTIFS(A:A,A2,C:C,"Fail"),"Fail",C2)
