    Question How do I make someone's Initials show up as a value in my formulas?

    I am working on a spreadsheet, and I have the formula "=IF(COUNT(Unit!$B$24:$B$26,"")=3,"Complete","Incomplete")" to show whether a portion of the workbook has been completed or not. When someone completes a section, they mark it complete with their first and last initial. The people completing the checklist is always different so I can't use a specific set of initials for the formula. Is there a way I can make it so the cells being initialed populate the text as a recognizable Value for the formula?

    Closer look (and test):

    Formula: copy to clipboard 
    =IF(COUNTA(Unit!$B$24:$B$26)=3,"Complete " & Unit!B24 & " " & Unit!B25 & " " &  Unit!B26,"Incomplete " &  Unit!B24 & " " & Unit!B25 & " " &  Unit!B26)
