Default If a cell matches a list of values......

Hi there,

I'm not great with excel so I need some help. I want to be able to check a
cell when it is entered against a list of values. If the value entered is an
exact match I want a true value, if it doesn't exactly match i want a false
value. I think I'm close with this. Could somebody please give me some
advice....

=IF(A18={"40DK216","40DK720","40DK739","40DK747"," 40DK814","40DK945","40DKA63","40DKB83","40DKC31"," 40DKC63"},"ALERT/EVAC","NADA")

You just need to add an OR function:

=IF(OR(A18={"40DK216","40DK720","40DK739","40DK747 ","40DK814","40DK945","40DKA63","40DKB83","40DKC31 ","40DKC63"}),"ALERT/EVAC","NADA")
