Default Need to use multiple values in the If function in Excel

Sure....you need to tell Excel when you're using text strings by enclosing
them in quotes....otherwise, it thinks the text is a reference.

Try this:
=IF(OR(C1={"3H",4,"5W"}),4,7)

Note: if the 4 will be text....then use this:
=IF(OR(C1={"3H","4","5W"}),4,7)

Does that help?
