    return the word interference if the cell contains < symbol

    Hi there, iam trying to return the word interference if any cell on the range of G17:K26 contains the symbol >and next to the symbol is a value
    For example, in cell G20 i have <5 it should return the word interference regardless the value next to the symbol, thanks in advance for any help.

    Yea martinwilson need the word INTERFERENCE in one cell, let say, K12 and the symbol to use will allways be <, i use the symbol to identify that the competitor made an interference on that score, thanks for your response.

    =IF(SUMPRODUCT(--ISNUMBER(--MID(G17:K25,FIND("<",G17:K25)+1,1))),"interference","")
    assuming that the value is always a number
