Checking cell based on value of another cell on another tab

[lbm12345]

Hello guys,

I'm having the following issue:

On the tab "Auditierte Normelemente" I would like to have an overview of which elements of an audition are being covered.

So, if the topic 4. Kontext der Organisation (B7) got covered in the year 18-19 (Column C), I would like an X to appear there (C7).

This information will come from another tab (2018-2019 PCW, in blue) which looks like this:

So, if 4. Kontext der Organisation is found on column G or on column M or on column S, the X should appear on the cell C7 of the tab "Auditierte Normelemente" and so on for the other topics on column B and later also for the years 19-20 and 20-21.


Do you guys have an idea for this? I've tried the IF function but it gets huge and very complex and doesn't work very precisely.

I would appreciate any help, I'm a newbie in Excel.

Thanks a lot!


Lucas

if it is indetically written - you could use a countIF()

So, if 4. Kontext der Organisation is found on column G or on column M or on column S, the X should appear on the cell C7 of the tab

B7 has 4. Kontext der Organisation

=COUNTIF('2018-2019 PCW'!C:C , B7) > 0
this sort of thing
ADD to an OR(COUNTIF('2018-2019 PCW'!C:C , B7) > 0, COUNTIF('other sheet'!C:C , B7) > 0, =COUNTIF('other sheet'!C:C , B7) > 0)
now if finds any it will count 1 or possible if its on all sheets 3
so will be TRUE

=IF ( OR(....) , "X", "")


I'm not sure all your sheets are clear to me
But hopefully you get the idea

Thanks! That's how it looks like now:

=IF(OR(COUNTIF(' 2018-2019 PCW'!$G$5:$G$26;B7)>0; COUNTIF(' 2018-2019 PCW'!$M$5:$M$26;B7)>0; COUNTIF(' 2018-2019 PCW'!$S$5:$S$26;B7)>0);"X";"")
