    formula to look for a number entry on one worksheet and return another fixed entry

    Is there a formula that will allow me to look for the existence of any number value in a row of one worksheet and then return a specific number value in a cell on another worksheet? For example, if the formula finds any number value it will always return the number 15 to a cell on another worksheet. Thanks in advance for any assistance.

    Formula as such only returns something in a cell or range it is written in.
    You can achieve such effect by using macro.

    As Kaper said, you'd need to put the formula where you want the 15 to be. If for example, you want a 15 if there is a number in sheet1!A4:G4 the formula might be
    =IF(COUNT(sheet1!$A$4:$G$4)>0, 15, "")
