Using IF function for an array of cells and 2 criteria

[DonnaRonna]

Hi,

I'm new to the forum and am hoping I can get some help.

I'm trying to search a worksheet for anywhere an error check (all error check calculations are labeled as such) is being done and then showing that either the error check calculations show no errors or show that there are errors being calculated.

Generally I'm trying to make the following work:

If D1:D200 contains the phrase "Error check" AND F1:F200 = 0, then display the word "Clear", otherwise display the word "Errors"

I haven't able to hit upon the right syntax to make that work.

Can anyone help?

Thanks

DonnaRonna

Welcome to the Board!

You can use COUNTIF to count the number of times "Error check" occurs in your range. If it occurs 1 or more times, then you know if exists.

I am not quite clear on this part:

AND F1:F200 = 0

Are you looking for 0 to exist anywhere in that range?
Or only is cells where column D on the same row says "Error check"?
What other types of entries might appear in column D? Any blank cells?

Thanks for the response!

I've thought about it a bit more and maybe this says it better

There are rows in the spreadsheet that are labeled Error Check, and have a calculation of the error amount. I want a formula that finds each row that has those error checks, and then totals the error amounts.

What I'm looking to do is check cell range C1:C200 for all the occurrences of the phrase "Error Check". Then for each of those occurrences, sum the values in the cells in column D adjacent to those "Error Check"s and display that.

Does that help?

Hi,

Then based on your latest description, just a SUMIF would work:

Book1
	C	D	E	F
1	Error check	1		16
2	No error	2
3	Error check	3
4	Error check	4
5		5
6	Not checked	6
7		7
8	Error check	8
Sheet245

Cell Formulas
Range	Formula
F1	=SUMIF(C1:C200,"Error check",D1:D200)
