Here is my problem -
The need to look a certain value say 'desktop' across 15 columns ( 1 row) and if it is present in any one cell, in the 16th column I need to print 'Desktop'.

Shown in example below Customer1 desktop server laptop keyboard Customer2 mouse desktop keyboard laptop Customer3 server mouse laptop keyboard I want to come up with Customer 1 desktop server laptop keyboard Customer 2 desktop laptop keyboard mouse Customer 3 server laptop keyboard mouse Please help, Thank you

Try this:
=IF(COUNTIF(A2:O2,"desktop"),"desktop","") Or, use a cell to hold the criteria: P1 = desktop =IF(COUNTIF($A2:$O2,P1),P1,"") Then copy across. -- Biff Microsoft Excel MVP "NotanExcelGuru" wrote in message ...
