Hi all, I'm trying to create a formula to determine is a row is above or below the row # from certain rows that contain an "X" in H in certain cells. I have 250,000 + rows of text and a couple of hundred rows with an "x", so I'd like to do this with a formula.
I've inserted a sample that hopefully makes sense...

Will you please attach a sample Excel workbook? We are not able to work with or manipulate a picture of one.
1. Make sure that your sample data are REPRESENTATIVE of your real data. The use of unrepresentative data is very frustrating and can lead to long delays in reaching a solution.
2. Make sure that your desired solution is also shown (mock up the results manually).
3. Make sure that all confidential data is removed or replaced with dummy data first (e.g. names, addresses, E-mails, etc.).
4. Try to avoid using merged cells as they cause lots of problems.
Unfortunately the attachment icon doesn't work at the moment, so to attach an Excel file you have to do the following: just before posting, scroll down to Go Advanced and then scroll down to Manage Attachments. Now follow the instructions at the top of that screen.
Please pay particular attention to point 2 (above): without an idea of your intended outcomes, it is often very difficult to offer appropriate advice.

It doesn't, but I missed it! And it will need changing before anyone offers any help.Originally Posted by Sambo kid
AliGW, I'm surprised the post title passes muster.
Please take a moment to read the forum rules and then amend your thread title to something descriptive of your problem - not what you think the answer might be. (think google search terms?). Once you have done this please send me a PM and I will remove this request. (Also, include a link to your thread - copy from the address bar)
Many members search our previous posts, and thread titles play a big part of the search. I doubt anybody would do a search based on your title?
To change a Title on your post, click EDIT POST then Go Advanced and change your title, if 2 days have passed ask a moderator to do it for you.
(note: this change is not optional
1. Use code tags for VBA. [code] Your Code [/code] (or use the # button)
2. If your question is resolved, mark it SOLVED using the thread tools
3. Click on the star if you think someone helped you

I would try this formula in cell J2 =IF(COUNTIF(H2:H12,"x") >0,"x","") and copy down until J16 where I'd change it to this if you are looking for both up and down =IF(OR(COUNTIF(H16:H26,"x") >0,COUNTIF(H5:H16,"x") >0),"x","")
my interpretation based on what you wrote going up and down 10 rows (and I'm hoping your title is ok now).
Thanks Sambo Kid, that was just about perfect. I put this into row 13 and filled it down.
=IF(OR(COUNTIF(H12:H22,"x") >0,COUNTIF(H2:H12,"x") >0),"x","")
Sorry for the hassle
