This is a work laptop so cant download. But I hope this is simple enough. I need a formula for column D. I need the formula look at both columns B and C. I this need it to return the results, in column D. The
complex issue is it needs to recognize #N/A and values. If there are two #N/A s return #N/A if not return the value in either cell. A what if may not be the most efficient, so what formula produces the outcome would be great. I would like a response today if possible. Thanks

Excel Facts

Can a formula spear through sheets?
Use =SUM(January:December!E7) to sum E7 on all of the sheets from January through December
Let me restate, if both columns have numbers the result should say "recheck"

Oh, thanks @rlv01 I had an error in my suggestion.

In your suggestion I think the 3rd IF is not necessary:
This works:
=IF(COUNTIF(B2:C2,"#N/A")=0,"RECHECK",IF(ISNA(B2),C2,B2))
