Hi adoalan !
You are not using CONTAINSSTRING correctly, as the error message says, you are providing the function more arguments than it can take. 
The funcition only works with two arguments, the first one is where it checks, and the second one is the text to look for.
Both of your CONTAINSSTRING should be closed right after "&", if you one to check for more than one string you can try with OR conditions like this:
CONTAINSSTRING( Column1, "&" ) && ( CONTAINSSTRING( Column2, "&" ) || CONTAINSSTRING( Column2, "Y" ) || CONTAINSSTRING( Column2, "N" ) )


Let me know if that helps!
