Hi,

Hoping someone could help me with this problem below. I have recreated an excel sheet below. Column 1 is the color, Column 2 is the response (Yes/No), and column 3 is blank.

Is there a formula I can write in column 3 that will help me identify if, for a specific color, only "No" was selected on column B. For example - Blue is listed as "Yes" "Yes" "No" - so it would fail.

Red is listed as "No" and "No" - so, it would pass

Thanks!!!

Excel Facts

VLOOKUP to Left?
Use =VLOOKUP(A2,CHOOSE({1,2},$Z$1:$Z$99,$Y$1:$Y$99),2,False) to lookup Y values to left of Z values.
=IF(B1="Yes","Pass", "Fail")

or

=IF(AND(A1="Blue", B1="Yes"),"Pass","Fail")

The first formula will provide a pass/fail outcome based off of Yes or no in column B. The second formula will only produce a Pass if the value in column A is Blue and column b is Yes

=IF(AND(A1="Blue", B1="Yes"),"Pass",IF(AND(A1="Red",B1="Yes"),"Pass","Fail"))

This is if you wanted to look for more than just one specific color. This formula will provide a Pass result if the value in A1 is blue or red and B1 is Yes.

And I just realized I misread.

=IF(AND(B1="Yes",B2="Yes",B3="Yes"),"Pass","Fail")

If it's always in the same cell ranges this would do it

How about
=IF(COUNTIF($A$2:$A$6,A2)=COUNTIFS($A$2:$A$6,A2,$B$2:$B$6,B2),"Pass","Fail")

How about
=IF(COUNTIF($A$2:$A$6,A2)=COUNTIFS($A$2:$A$6,A2,$B$2:$B$6,B2),"Pass","Fail")

This was close but it did not work. I has instances where all cells were "Yes" for a color and it returned a pass. The ideas is that, since all cells are "Yes", it would return a "fail"...only if all calles are "No" would I want a pass.

Any changes you could make?

In that case try
=IF(COUNTIF($A$2:$A$8,A2)=COUNTIFS($A$2:$A$8,A2,$B$2:$B$8,"No"),"Pass","Fail")
