    Is there a formula for "column must contain"?

    I work at a hospital and we have several shifts. I assigned each shift a number. Day Shift is 1, Night Shift is 2, etc. We have 10 different shifts.

    I am trying to make a work schedule to make sure I have enough coverage. I list all of the employees in column 1. At the top going across are the days of the week. So, say on Mondays I need shift 1,3,4,6 covered. Mary will cover shift 1, Susie will cover shift 3, John will cover shift 4, Bob will have 6.

    Is there a formula that says "this column must contain a 1,3,4,6"?

    That way, if I forgot to put someone on shift 6, I will get an error and realize I need to find someone to work shift 6. On my attached example, I forgot to cover shift 6 on Monday, so I want it to tell me there is an error.

    Thanks for helping a newbie.

    Hi Sherri,

    Did you checked my previous reply on your first post which you posted in incorrect section ... if that helps, you can connect with any MODs to move that to correct forum section as this post may be counted as duplicate post
