Solution

  • You are referencing an array in a function that is not designed to take arrays as input so you need to enable them.

    Try:

    =ArrayFormula(IF(REGEXMATCH(H2:M2, "Hi"), "Yes", "No"))
    

    I'm trying to do this: =IF(("Hi"=H2:L2),"Approve","No qualify") =IF(("Here"= H2:L2),"Approve","No qualify")

    Assuming E1:E2 is the list of values to check against A1:C1, you can try:

    =ArrayFormula(if(countif(E1:E2,A1:C1),"Approved","Not qualified"))
