Here is a sample of the file sent through that shows what was needed

Solution – Create a formula to set the Value

The formula needed to calculate the number of non-empty cells for each row and then compare that to the number of cells that had “A” or “N/A” included. If that number differed then the result needed to be FALSE, if it matched then the result was TRUE.

The formula needed was

=IF(COUNTA(B2:AX2)=(COUNTIF(B2:AX2,"A")+COUNTIF(B2:AX2,"N/A")),TRUE,FALSE)
