    Check if any formulas returns false in a workbook

    I have several formulas in a workbook across multiple sheets which return true or false

    Is it possible to have a check to see if any of them are false
    ie on one of the sheets having formula like
    =isanyformulagivingfalse()

    The aim is that if any formulas returns false indication that some calculations are wrong triggering further check otherwise ok

    what is multiple sheets? you could write some vba code to look, even if its a function

    Otherwise countif for FALSE of each sheet will also flag it, if you do not have too many sheets

    Thanks Davsth

    It is almost what I was looking for too

    I changed that to a function to return value in a cell

    Only issue is i can make it to show the sheet where it is called from but not the cell

    Is it possible to amend it to show the cell as well where the value is false

    Also, i noticed that it shows true for any cells where the cell value contains false as text like "The formula returns true or false" or another function called which is named as "true_or_false" coz it checks for the false word on the formula

    Is it possible to check only for values only as false AND not something that has false as a text or otherwise

    perhaps just add the location address on the end of the line that returns the sheet name
