How to do this in excel?

Question

I have this situation:

I have a range of columns. And I want to set indicator to '1' if any of the matching codes appear in that range. example:

C D E F G H   M
1 2 3 4 5 6   if any value in range C1:H1 lie between 1-4 then 1 else 0

Say Column C1:H1, I want to create column M1(an indicator) such that any of codes say (1,2,3,4) Appear in range C1:H1 its value is set to 1 else 0

Answer 1

You can add an IF function to cells in column G to do this:

=IF(OR(C1="1",D1="2",E1="3"),"1","0")

This currently only caters for 3 columns, so add additional arguments to the OR function, if you want to incorporate additional columns. All you then need to do is amend the "1", "2" and "3" etc for your codes and amend the ranges for your dataset.
