Help me with if then function!
hello members,
I will be really grateful if you could help me with this question:
I have seven columns that are either filled or not filled. I need a function to fulfil the following conditions:
Either one of the columns has a number value
or
no number value in any of the columns
If either of the above conditions fulfil, I should have "1" as a column value, else 0.
suchetalahiri , ok, I think I got it. If there are more than 1 values in the categories, then result should be 0. No value or 1 value results in 1. See attached.

suchetalahiri , wouldn't the result always be TRUE? Maybe I'm missing something. Do you have sample data (without any confidential info) to illustrate?
TheAntonyHi Anthony, I cant share the data as I am doing a research project on it. I don't want true or false, I want it 0 or 1 as the data is to be used for further analysis. Guess even if we can do true or false, we can turn it into 0 or 1 with the further formula, no?
suchetalahiri , yes the result will be 0 and 1. This is the process of constructing the conditional formula you are requesting. My question is around the logic. Based on what I understand from your explanation, the result will always be 1. Perhaps you can let me know the error in my logic by looking at the sample file attached.
