Hello!
I need help with an IF function in Excel 2007.
I need the IF formula to put a "1" if the word "YT" or "BC" or "Pacific_Ocean" is in cell J2:V2. If none of these words are there, I want the IF formula to put a "0".
I have written the following formula but it contains an error:
=IF(OR(J2:V2="YT",J2:V2="BC",J2:V2="Pacific_Ocean")"1", "0")
Can you please help!
Thanks a lot!

Try
=--(SUM(COUNTIF(J2:V2,{"YT","BC","Pacific_Ocean"}))>0)

=IF(OR(COUNTIF(J2:V2, "YT"), COUNTIF(J2:V2, "BC"), COUNTIF(J2:V2, "Pacific_Ocean")), 1, 0)
Does that work for you?

Appreciate the help? CLICK *
Try this array formula**:
=--OR(J2:V2={"YT";"BC";"Pacific Ocean"})
** array formulas need to be entered using the key
combination of CTRL,SHIFT,ENTER (not just ENTER).
Hold down both the CTRL key and the SHIFT key
then hit ENTER.
You're welcome, we appreciate the feedback.
