Here's a response posted in your original thread
(you should stay within that thread)
----------- ----------
Just throwing in some thoughts here in the interim ..
(do hang around for Dave's response)
Perhaps you could try this in say V7:
=IF(OR(LEN(E7&G7&I7&K7)<4,LEN(M7&O7&Q7)<3,LEN(S7&U7)<2),"",IF(AND(SUMPRODUCT(NOT(ISNUMBER(SEARCH("e",E7&G7&I7&K7)))*(LEN(E7&G7&I7&K7)=4))>0,SUMPRODUCT(--(M7={"a","b","c","d"})+--(O7={"a","b","c","d"})+--(Q7={"a","b","c","d"}))>0,SUMPRODUCT(--(S7={"a","b","c","d"})+--(U7={"a","b","c","d"}))>0),"Passed","Failed"))
Above presumes all 9 grade cells must be completed, otherwise it'll just
return blank: "".
