    Need a formula for pass/fail based on no. of Y answers but automatically fail if 3a is N

    Hey,

    I have a spreadsheet that will summarise assessments. There are a number of questions (1a, 1b etc. to 3b):
    (sorry for the confusion but there is an empty row after 1e (row 7)


    Criteria Plan 1
    1a Y
    1b NA
    1c Y
    1d Y
    1e Y

    2a Y
    2b Y
    2c Y
    2d Y
    2e Y
    2f N
    2g Y
    2h N
    2i Y

    3a N
    3b Y
    Total for each plan (number of Y and NA answers) 13
    Pass or Fail PASS


    If there are 13 or more Yes or NA answers they PASS. I have done this by using the formula =(COUNTIF(B2:B19,"Y"))+(COUNTIF(B2:B19,"NA")). This gives the total for each plan (13) in B20 which is used below.

    The Pass or Fail formula is =(IF(B20<=12,"FAIL","PASS"))


    Then I need to add another condition or exception. If the assessment has N at questions 1a, 2a or 3a they automatically fail and this is where I'm getting stuck. If I could combine two formula it would be something like this:

    =(IF(B20<=12,"FAIL","PASS")) except when (B2, B8 or B18="N", "FAIL")

    In other words the assessment needs 13 or more Y or NA's to pass. If there is a N at questions 1a, 2a and 3a they automatically fail.

    Thanks very much for your help!
