    Formula for showing a result from multiple cells.

    Hi there,

    I've been racking my brain trying to remember how to get the result I want.

    In cells A1 to A5, they will either say YES or NO.
    In A6, if all cells say YES then I want A6 to say COMPLETE
    If some cells say YES & some say NO I want A6 to say ONGOING

    I'm sure I'm missing something really simple.

    TIA

    Welcome to the forum.

    Try:

    =IF(COUNTIF(A1:A5,"YES")=5,"COMPLETE","ONGOING")

    Sorry, a change of outcome.

    While A6 says COMPLETE or ONGOING, I'd like A6 to stay blank if all of A1-A5 is empty or A6 to say ONGOING if any A1-A5 says N/A.

    Try this:

    =IF(COUNTIF(A1:A5,"YES")=5,"COMPLETE",IF(COUNTIF(A1:A5,"")=5,"",IF(COUNTIF(A1:A5,"N/A")>=1,"ONGOING","")))
