I have 2 collums of candidate entries. One for foundation entries and one for higher. The entry will show a "C" in one of the 2 collums, if there isn't a "C" in either collum, theyre not entered at all.

I need a formula to look across the 2 collums for a "C" and return "F" if found in the first (foundation entry) collum, or return a "H" if found in the second collum (higher) or return " " (nothing) if no entry is found.
