I need to create a formula that will check 3 separate cells (K2,N2,Q2). If K2 has a value in it and no values in N2 or Q2, then it would return a 1. If K2 & N2 have a value and no value in Q2, it would return a 2. If K2, N2 & Q2 all have values, it would return a 3. If K2, N2 & Q2 are blank then, cell would also be blank. I would appreciate any input on how I could structure this formula.

Bring active cell back into view
Start at A1 and select to A9999 while writing a formula, you can't see A1 anymore. Press Ctrl+Backspace to bring active cell into view.
Hi and welcome to the Board!!
Here's one way
Code:
=CHOOSE(COUNTA(K2,N2,Q2)+1,"",1,2,3)
Here's another
Code:
=IF(COUNTA(K2,N2,Q2)=0,"",COUNTA(K2,N2,Q2))
