Hello all,

I am hoping someone can help me.

There is a report that shows user files being backed upsuccessfully or not.

In column D is the success status. If a backup fails it tries again up to 3 timesthat same day for each user. The data issorted by username and in date order. My example just has 1 UserName but thiscan be many different people.
In column E I am trying to find out if the backup triedagain and was successful or not; so if cell D contains “failure” I want to lookdown D to find the first instance of the word Success it then needs to check incolumn C if it’s the same day as the failure entry and in column F if it’s the sameusername. If all these conditions aremet return the result “Yes” if not “backup failed on retry”
