I need to modify the formula so that it ignores any blanks in the Required for work table starting in cell M15. Also, I have quite a number of ORs in my formula, is there a way to shorten this formula as this could get quite long in practice (for the sake of the example it only has Mon to Sun). Please ignore the TRUE/FALSE rows, that was there to help guide me with the CF.
Just to be clear, Columns G,H, N,O etc should not return true, I've tried NOT(ISBLANK) but couldn't get the desired result.
