hi guys, i need to write a function that tracks progress of a particular invoice through different sheets.
I have a main sheet that should show numerical values of 25, 50, 75, 100.
My function works with 2 sheets but if i add on more than that it fails
the formula for 2 sheets is
=IF(AND(ISBLANK(Quote!C2),ISBLANK(PO!C2)),"0",
IF(ISBLANK(PO!C2),"25","50"))
I have two more sheets that tracks to invoice and payment, would greatly appreciate any help you can give me
 

Excel Facts

Format cells as date
Select range and press Ctrl+Shift+3 to format cells as date. (Shift 3 is the # sign which sort of looks like a small calendar).
Hi,

Since you say it's "tracking progress", can we assume that if the 1st Sheet C2 is Blank, the rest (2nd Sheet, 3rd Sheet, 4th Sheet) will be Blank ?
In other words, C2 of the 4 sheets will be populated in order of progress starting from 1st sheet to 4th sheet ?

EDIT: Also, when C2 is Blank, is it Truly Blank/Empty or may be result of a formula blank ( "" ) ?

Yes, if the 1st sheet is blank the rest will also be blank. It follows the order of 1st sheet,2nd sheet and so on. and it truly blank/empty.

Thanks for the clarification.

Either one of these formulas should work.

Change/adjust Cell reference and Sheet Names as needed:

=LOOKUP(COUNTA(Quote!C2,PO!C2,Invoice!C2,Payment!C2),{0,1,2,3,4},{0,25,50,75,100})

=IFERROR(CHOOSE(COUNTA(Quote!C2,PO!C2,Invoice!C2,Payment!C2),25,50,75,100),0)

BTW, don't put quote marks around the numbers (i.e. "25", "50", etc) if you want Real Number values, quote marks turn them into Text Values.
