Hi,
I have a list of managers and their management levels and what I need is to validate if each manager has the right management level. The issue is not all the managers have the same exact management levels, i.e. some managers have 1 level and others may have multiple.
I need a formula that can validate the last column of each row, the challenge is I have different column in each row, I put a simple formula for my table below and need to a better formula that can get the same result under desired result table, can anyone help please?
And what's the recommended formula that can replace the column "If False, what's the incorrect manager name?" in my table below?
