I have a spreadsheet (Google spreadsheet) where I register information about employee´s education. In the bottom of each column (every employee is represented by a column) I want the cell to display "Yes" if there is text in two other specified cells. (Not if there is text in only one of them, or none of them.)
I have tried all kinds of combinations using AND and IF and NOTBLANK, but I probably have the wrong syntax, or use the functions wrong.
So what I need help to understand is if there is text in cell B3 and in cell B34, how can I create a formula that displays the text "Yes" in cell B38?

Please try:
=if(and(not(isblank(B3));not(isblank(B34)));"Yes";"No") This may cover a wider range of possibilities than you require but it is usually easeir to trim back than to expand. For example, If either B3 or B34 is empty, this formula returns No, rather than nothing at all (but the No is not obligatory) and the "text" in B3 and B34 can be either alpha or numeric, or a mixture.
Please try this, it works:
=IF(OR(ISBLANK(B3),ISBLANK(B34),NOT(ISTEXT(B3)),NOT(ISTEXT(B34))),"No","Yes") Logic:
If any of Cell B3 or B34 is blank or contains Non-Text value is returns "No". It just returns "Yes" only if both the cells have a "Text" value.
More short and powerful Formula as per your requirement is as follows:
=IF(AND(ISTEXT(B3),ISTEXT(B34)),"Yes","No")
