This is the spreadsheet I'm working on. I am trying to figure out a formula for conditional formatting so that it only highlights the cells in red if none of the cells from columns N to Y of the Failed tab says either "Yes, I take this medication within the specified dosage range" or "I am unsure If I take this".

After selecting the range N2:Y, apply to it conditional formatting with "Custom formula is:"
Explanation:
$N2:$Y2refers to the range N-Y in the current row.regexmatch($N2:$Y2, "this|that")returns True when the cell contains either "this" or "that" (this is a substring search, which is appropriate in your case). ThenNconverts True to 1 and False to 0. The whole array of these 1-0 values is then summed, and the formatting applies if the sum is 0, meaning there were no matches.
