To tell you the truth I was trying to assist another user here: http://www.excelforum.com/excel-misc...-of-cells.html
and I had suggested a working formula as below:
=IF(SUM(IF(ISNA(MATCH("*"&$F$16:$F$25&"*",TEXT($A$16:$A$25,"########"),0)),IF(ISNA(MATCH("*"&$F$16:$F$25&"*",TEXT($B$16:$B$25,"########"),0)),IF(ISNA(MATCH("*"&$F$16:$F$25&"*",TEXT($C$16:$C$25,"########"),0)),1)))),"non existing","existing")
(which turns out isn't what they were looking for.. but got me thinking....)
I want to be able to shrink it to:
=IF(SUM(IF(ISNA(MATCH("*"&$F$16:$F$25&"*",TEXT($A$16:$C$25,"########"),0)),1)),"non existing","existing")
but I can't use the Red range... how could I consolidate the range to a single array?
