Why will my formula not return a blank cell if the statements not met.

=IF(AND(I17="ü",K17="ü",M17="ü",S17="ü",U17="ü"),IF(OR(O17="ü",Q17="ü"),IF(OR(W17="ü",Y17="ü",AA17="ü"),"ü","")))
the "ü" is a windings font for a tick symbol which if the conditions are works ok but if the conditions are not met returns FALSE but i would prefer the cell to be blank, which I believe ,"ü","") at the end of the if statement should return. i have tried &"" after the formula but this has no effect.

any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

thanks peter

Round to nearest half hour?
Use =MROUND(A2,"0:30") to round to nearest half hour. Use =CEILING(A2,"0:30") to round to next half hour.

The logic in the formula is not the logic you want, but we can't fix the formula if you don't tell us the logic you want.

Let's lay out the formula a bit differently to see how the logic works:

Rich (BB code): 
=IF(AND(I17="ü",K17="ü",M17="ü",S17="ü",U17="ü"),
    IF(OR(O17="ü",Q17="ü"),
       IF(OR(W17="ü",Y17="ü",AA17="ü"),
          "ü", you get this result if all three of the preceding conditions are TRUE
          "") you this result if the first two conditions are TRUE but the third condition is FALSE
       ) you do not specify what happens if OR(O17="ü",Q17="ü") is FALSE, so if that happens it returns FALSE
    ) you do not specify what happens if AND(I17="ü",K17="ü",M17="ü",S17="ü",U17="ü") is FALSE, so when that happens it returns FALSE.

My best guess for what you want is this. This says if the AND is TRUE and both ORs are TRUE, the result is "ü", otherwise blank.

Excel Formula: 
=IF(AND(I17="ü",K17="ü",M17="ü",S17="ü",U17="ü",OR(O17="ü",Q17="ü"),OR(W17="ü",Y17="ü",AA17="ü")),"ü","")

If my suggestion is not what you want, then you need to spell out the logic you want to apply.

Hi Rich thanks for your answer, I have tried your formula which did return a blank cell unfortunately the result if the conditions were met also returned a blank cell
The result "u" should be returned if all conditions are met and the cell blank if any one of the conditions are not met

Who is Rich?

We now have two formulas that do not work, but no statement of your conditions. Please describe your conditions in words.

If all cells I7, K7,M7,S7 and U7 = "u" (Condition 1)

And either O7 or Q7 = "u"
(Condition 2)

And either W7 or Y7 or AA7 = "u"
(Condition 3)

If all 3 conditions are true the result is "u"

If any of the 3 conditions are false the cell should be blank

That formula does exactly that. Please provide sample data pasted into a post as a table, or a link to a file on a cloud data-sharing service.

I pasted this data into a worksheet and am getting no results. I think the columns don't map correctly. In this data what column is column I and what column is AA?

You have the formulas in the wrong rows. In your first post you gave an example of a formula for row 7. So I gave you a corrected formula for row 7. But you put it in row 3 (or maybe 4, I can't really tell).

Here is my formula with your data. If you still don't think the results are right, indicate which row.
