Hi Mathew,

Try this array formula, which needs to be confirmed by hitting Ctrl+Shift+Enter:

=IF(OR($J$1:$L$1=ROW(A1)=TRUE),"*","")

If done correctly the formula will be enclosed by curly brackets.

Best regards,
Trowa

Dear Trowa is there any option to increment the value of $J$1:$L$1
when i drag the formula to other cell $J$2:$L$2.....


A1 =IF(OR($J$1:$L$1=ROW(A1)=TRUE),"*","")
B1 =IF(OR($J$2:$L$2=ROW(B1)=TRUE),"*","")
C1 =IF(OR($J$2:$L$2=ROW(C1)=TRUE),"*","")

Hi Mathew,

Sorry for my late response, have been ill the past week.

A dollar symbol will fix a column or row, so remove the dollar sign in front of the row number:
=IF(OR($J1:$L1=ROW(A1)=TRUE),"*","")

Best regards,
Trowa
