Hello,
I am trying to get one cell to show a phrase/text, if ANY of the cells within an array in a column display some other text.
I need this to work even with empty/blank cells in the array.
If none of the cells in the column array match the phrase, then the result cell should stay blank.
So, let's say cells A1 to A5 are as follows:
A1-Trunk Line PRI Handoff
A2-(blank/empty)
A3-Toll Free Number
A4-(blank/empty)
A5-(blank/empty)
And I want cell A6 to state: "All long distance billed at $.015/min" IF ANY CELL IN A1 through A5 says "Trunk Line PRI Handoff" (which cell A1 does in my example). If NONE of the cells in the range matched the phrase, A6 would remain empty/blank.
I want to use the same formula for another cell with different criteria, so lets say cell A7. IF ANY CELL in A1 through A5 says "Toll Free Number" , then cell A7 should say "$0.03 per minute", IF none of the cells in the range say "Toll Free Number" then cell A7 remains empty/blank.
I've tried to use Match, IF, and vLookup, but can't seem to work it out with the one fixed cell looking at a range, and both criteria and result being Text and not values. It's driving me nuts and I've wasted so much time, I'm hoping someone here can save the day and help me out!! Thanks!
