finding range of numbers in one row to another row

Hello All,
I posted earlier today but there was some confusion on how I posted the
question.
What i have two rows of data with numbers in columns A & B. What I would
like to do: check the numbers in A2:B2, which in this case is 57 and 24.
And then I need to find out if any numbers in the range of 57 to 24
(57,56,55,54,....etc...26,25,24) are in the range of numbers of A1:B2, in
this example 50 to 32. The formula would be something like this:
=if(a2:b2)=range(a1:b1),"ok","NO")

For example:

A B
----------------------
1 50 32
2 57 24

so in this example the result would be "ok" because some of the numbers in
A2:B2 are in the range of A1:B1 (50.....to 32).
If A2 was 66 and B2 was 53 then it would return "NO" as of none of those
numbers are in the range of 50 to 32.

There will be times when the number in A2 will be larger or smaller than A1
and also B2 and B1. I am just looking for any numbers in the range of A2:B2
are in the range of A1:B1.

Thanks in advance,
Mike

Mike, will the value in ColA ALWAYS be >= the value in ColB, like in
your example. Or can the smaller number sometimes show up in ColA?

ScottO,

the value in Col A will always be greater than the value in Col B

Then try this out ...
=IF(OR(AND(A2<A1,A2>B1),AND(A2>A1,B2<A1),AND(B2<B1,A2>B1)),"OK","NO")

I think that catches all the possibilities, but I might have tangled
myself up somewhere
I wasn't sure whether you wanted strictly 'greater/less than', or if
you wanted to allow for 'equal to' as well, so I left out the = signs
(assuming 'strictly').
If my assumption is wrong, then you can put them in as required.

ScottO, The formula you made up works (I added the equal signs). I want
to thank you so much for your help, this was a very tough one, I really
appreciate it.

Mike
