In SHEET2 in cell A1, add the following formula:

=IF(AND(Sheet1!A1="s";Sheet1!B1="s";Sheet1!D1="s";Sheet1!F1="s");"s";"invalid")

Is says:

If A1, B1, D1 and F1 in sheet 1 all contain an s then write s else write invalid

I think you are missing the fact that the cells A1, B1, etc. are in a different sheet (ie. SHEET1). In which case you need to prefix the cell references with SHEET1!.

Slightly shorter:

=if(countif({Sheet1!A1:B1,Sheet1!D1,Sheet1!F1},"s")=4,"s","invalid")
