Formula to check columns to return a complete

Good afternoon,

i am struggling with a formula which will look to see if all the boxes across the row are filled - which would then automatically return a 'y' in my complete column

i have added an attachment below

Administrative Note:

Welcome to the forum.

We would very much like to help you with your query, however the thread title does not really convey what your request is about.

Please take a moment to amend your thread title. Make sure that the title properly explains your request. Your title should be explicit and not be generic (this includes function names used without an indication of what you are trying to achieve).

Please see Forum Rule #1 about proper thread titles and adjust accordingly. To edit the thread title, open the original post to edit and then click on Go Advanced (bottom right) to access the area where you can edit your title.

(Note: this change is not optional. As ytouy are new, I have done it for you today, however it is clear that no thought went into it whatsoever: please take more care in future.)

Will you please attach a sample Excel workbook? We are not able to work with or manipulate a picture of one and nobody wants to have to recreate your data from scratch.

1. Make sure that your sample data are REPRESENTATIVE of your real data. The use of unrepresentative data is very frustrating and can lead to long delays in reaching a solution.

2. Make sure that your desired results are also shown (mock up the results manually).

3. Make sure that all confidential data is removed or replaced with dummy data first (e.g. names, addresses, E-mails, etc.).

4. Try to avoid using merged cells as they cause lots of problems.

Unfortunately the attachment icon doesn't work at the moment, so to attach an Excel file you have to do the following: just before posting, scroll down to Go Advanced and then scroll down to Manage Attachments. Now follow the instructions at the top of that screen.

Please pay particular attention to point 2 (above): without an idea of your intended outcomes, it is often very difficult to offer appropriate advice.

Try this:

=IF(COUNTIF($E8:$AP8,"Y")=COUNTA($E$7:$AR$7),"Y","")

Try this in AS8.

Oh, use Ali's formula, that's the better and more flexible alternative (depending of those dark cells are going to be contain data or not...).

Change my formula to this:

=IF(COUNTIF($E8:$AP8,"<>")=COUNTA($E$7:$AR$7),"Y","")

This will work if the boxes contain any value, (i.e. are not blank).
