    Looking for formulas to get me individual cells in a range that are TRUE for formula

    Hello,

    I need a formula that can look at a range of cells and return when one of the cells either has a formula in it or does not? T/F


    as you can see below using the ISFORMULA function works, except not really. Example, the two yellow cells are formulas, but the

    range returns FALSE. Technically the range is not false because there are two formula cells. Then, I want to do the same thing for the row 4 below it, except this time return when there is data instead of formulas. Attached is excel sheet example.

    Also, is there a way to catch when a cell is not summed in a range? Example, I am using

    . I want a formula that will tell me which cell in a range does not have a SUM formula.

    thanks

    This formula will count how many cells in your range have a formula

    This will return TRUE/FALSE

    Not sure about your last request. So if, for example, if the cell H9 in the range B9:M9, does not contain a sum formula, you want your formula to return H9?
    What if more than 1 cell does not contain a SUM? Does it matter if it's a formula or constant, just as long as it's not a SUM?

    Hi ChemistB,

    thanks for that formulas suggestion. I did not even think to put a sumproduct infron of the ISFORMULA. I think I am going to use that as the result count will work for what I need.

    as for the last request,
    Yes, I am looking to use a formula to look in a range of cells and return which cells either do not have a sum in them or if the sums are inconsistent between the cells. Example like one column SUM has one more row that it is summing than then next.

    @ChemistB,

    Attachment 685719


    Here is an example,
    I want to catch where the cell sum range does not agree with the other sum formulas that are all the same sum range.

    Then, also if there is a hardcoded number in the cell instead of a SUM< catch that too.

    If one or more of your formulas are inconsistent with the others in the row, you will get the little green triangle. (Cell G9 in example) However, you won't get a green triangle if one of your cells doesn't contain a formula (Cell J9). I think you might need some VBA and a User Defined Function for this one.
