I am trying to identify a full weekend worked in excel.
I have taken the obvious steps and identified the week days as numbers 1 to 7 but my formula is not working correctly to identify a full weekend.
The logic I am working from is shown below along with my formula which wrongly identifies the cells in red as TRUE:
Test data.xlsx
ABC
1Weekday StartWeekday EndWrong Formula
211TRUE
312TRUE
422FALSE
577TRUE
667TRUE
771TRUE
844FALSE
Sheet10
Cell Formulas
RangeFormula
C2:C8C2=IF(OR(A2:B2=1,A2:B2=7),TRUE, FALSE)


How would I change the formula to say "if A2 and B2 = 1 or A2 and B2 = 7 or A2 =7 and B2=1 return TRUE" - this would then identify full weekends worked I believe. I could do this myself though separate formulas but know there must be a simple way to complete this in one step - any help would be greatly appreciated.
 

Excel Facts

Ambidextrous Undo
Undo last command with Ctrl+Z or Alt+Backspace. If you use the Undo icon in the QAT, open the drop-down arrow to undo up to 100 steps.
How about
Excel Formula:
=AND(OR(A2=1,A2=7),OR(B2=1,B2=7))
