ctrl+shift+enter and if function

Hello!

When i'm using this formula:
{=IF(AND(Pontaj!M9:V9="CFS";SUM(Pontaj!M9:V9)=0);"CFS";IF(AND(Pontaj!M9:V9="CO";SUM(Pontaj!M9:V9)=0);"CO";IF(AND(Pontaj!M9:V9="LP";SUM(Pontaj!M9:V9)=0);"LP";IF(AND(Pontaj!M9:V9="N";SUM(Pontaj!M9:V9)=0);"N";IF(AND(Pontaj!M9:V9="L";SUM(Pontaj!M9:V9)=0);"L";IF(AND(Pontaj!M9:V9="CM";SUM(Pontaj!M9:V9)=0);"CM";SUM(Pontaj!M9:V9)))))))} when the result it should be "CFS" or "CO" or "lp" etc., i get the result 0. What should i do to get the result "CFS"?
Thank you!

This wont solve your problem but you can shorten that formula by taking the

IF(SUM(M9;V9)=0,

out of the ANDs

removing the AND()s so it says something like

=IF(SUM(Pontaj!M9:V9)=0;IF(Pontaj!M9:V9="CFS";"CFS";IF(Pontaj!M9:V9="CO";"CO"... etc

You will need to change this bit:

=IF(AND(Pontaj!M9:V9="CFS";

to this:

=IF(AND(COUNTIF(Pontaj!M9:V9;"CFS");

and make similar changes for other terms that are like this:

Pontaj!M9:V9="CO";

and then you won't have to use CSE to commit the formula.

Hope this helps.

Are all values in M9:V9 equal to one of: CFS, CO, LP, N, L CM?
Or the row contains at least 1 different value?
Because for Pontaj!M9:V9="CFS" to be true, all values of cells in range M9:V9 must be CFS.
See image below for an example of what I mean:

In range Pontaj!M9:V9 you also have numbers, or just one of CFS, CO, LP, N, L CM?
If you only have those and no numbers, the sum of letters only (CFS, CO, LP, N, L CM) will always be 0 so that part of the equation would not be required...

And to answer your question, in order to have the result "CFS" you should make sure that all values in range Pontaj!M9:V9 are CFS, like my first example above.
