I only want to validate values in col A,C,E,G,I etc.......if they contain 1, i want result to show 1, otherwise 0.....they are specific columns....Then either option in columns L or M should do what you are after. If not, let us know.
And do the offered solutions NOT do just that? I am confused, both mine and Fluff's suggested formulas are only looking at those columns you mentioned.I only want to validate values in col A,C,E,G,I etc.......if they contain 1, i want result to show 1, otherwise 0.....they are specific columns....
i think this works, this formula is only looking at every other column?Another option
Cell Formulas Range Formula K2:K4 K2 =IF(SUM(CHOOSECOLS(A2:I2,SEQUENCE(,5,1,2)))=5,1,0)
when i choose A2:I2 in the formula, is it not looking at column B ( i don't want to validate B)..And do the offered solutions NOT do just that? I am confused, both mine and Fluff's suggested formulas are only looking at those columns you mentioned.
No, it is not looking at column B. the "SEQUENCE(1,5,1,2)" portion of each of our formulas is telling it to look at every other column starting with column A.i think this works, this formula is only looking at every other column?

yes, it is working, i just did a check......thank you so much! @Fluff @dreid1011No, it is not looking at column B. the "SEQUENCE(1,5,1,2)" portion of each of our formulas is telling it to look at every other column starting with column A.
