    If 4 cells contain text, show the text from this cell

    Hi

    I'm looking for some help and not entirely sure if it's possible.

    I am trying to create a formula for a cell linking to another sheet as follows:

    Results!A1: Text1
    Results!A2: Text2
    Results!A3: Text3
    Results!A4: Text4

    If all four cells contain a value, display the value here.

    This would allow me to have four corresponding cells showing the values from the results sheet, but only once all four values are entered.

    The formula I tried was:
    =IF(COUNT(Results!A1:A4)<4,"",(Results!A1))

    The cell is showing nothing at all.

    Is there anything I can do?

    Count() registers numbers only. To count text, use Counta()

    =IF(COUNTA(Results!A1:A4)<4,"",(Results!A1))
