    Tracking based on values in different columns

    Good day,
    I am trying to create a tracking system for tests. I have attached the file for easier explanation:

    On Sheet 'Tracking', I would like to track those people (Staff no) who have completed all 3 tests (shown on sheet 'training').
    For example: In cell B3, I would like to track staff no 2235 with an "x", if they have completed all trainings (sheet 'training', cells B8,C8 and D8).
    The staff number is not fixed in a specific row on the training sheet, it can move up or down, so I can't use a formula that looks for that number in specific cell, it has to look in a range (A8:A14) to find it and then see if the cells B,C and D are all occupied. Only if all of them are (meaning tests 1, 2 & 3 have been completed, it needs to count them and give me an "x" on the Tracking sheet.

    I hope this makes sense. I tried countif, but that only gives me a "1" and not an "x".

    Thank you so much for your help!Tracktest.xlsx

    With an helpcolumn.

    After that with VLookup (on the first sheet).

    Or an pivot table.

    See the attached file.

    in cell B3 on the "tracking" sheet

    =IFERROR(IF(VLOOKUP(A3,Training!A8:D14,AND(ISNUMBER(Training!B8),ISNUMBER(Training!C8),ISNUMBER(Training!D8))),"X",""),"")

    then copy down

    Oeldere, thanks so much, this works well, have to see if I can include this help column into the sheet. I think the pivot table won't work this time. But I really appreciate your help.

    xwarlock10x, sorry to bother you again, but I just realized, when I move the number on the training sheet to a different row, the formula doesn't recognize it anymore. I guess that's because you h ave "fixed" the row in the ISNUMBER part?!

    I can't upload the actual sheet (confidential information), I had to recreate it. But I got oeldere's version working for me. Thanks so much, I really appreciate your time & assistance.
