I am searching through 1000’s of lines of data and I’m looking for specific info in these cells and if it appears id like the end cell to have a tick in or turn red and ect. for easy distinguish.
So in short what I am looking for would be
All Selected cells
if (all cell a-z Contain "Admin"){
Tick cell AA
}
You should check for Admin
inside a concatenation of the cells A1:Z1
. This concatenation is achieved via A1&B1&C1&...&X1&Y1&Z1
. So, for example, in cell AA1, enter
=IF(ISERROR(FIND("Admin",A1&B1&C1&...&X1&Y1&Z1)),"not found","found")
where you replace ...
with the remaining cells in the range.
Answer:
I have worked out a solution to the range issue instead of highlighting all of the cells
=IF(ISERROR(HLOOKUP("admin",A5:G5,1)),"NOT FOUND","FOUND")
Hope this helps anyone else out there.
Answer:
One way of doing this is as follows. In the cell you want the indicator have the following code, and assuming that you are looking for the value a – replace “a” with the value you are looking for.
=COUNTIF(D8:I8,"a")
You can then use conditional formating that says if the cell is > 0 then turn it red, or have an adjacent field that has a conditional format to put in a traffic light, tick mark, whatever and hide the previous field.
Hope this helps
