Note: this formula is not case-sensitive, you can find a case-sensitive formula here. The COUNTIF then returns a count of any cells that do not contain “OK” which is compared to zero. If the count is zero, the formula returns TRUE. If the count is anything but zero, the formula returns FALSE.
Ignore empty cells
