The part you wrote worked great. This is the whole IF function

=IF(OR('A-V Input'!A5={"HS-U","HS-D","HS-R","HS-L"}),"U-MHU-MCS",IF('A-V
Input'!A5="H","U-MHU",IF('A-V Input'!A5="ST-C","U-MCS-W",IF('A-V
Input'!A5="ST","U-MCS",IF('A-V Input'!A5="HS-C","U-MHU-MCS","-")))))

It works the way I wanted. If you can shorten it up feel free I am open to
suggestions

Thanks alot

What's supposed to happen when there is no match?

Anyway, try this:

=IF(OR(A1={"HS-U","HS-D","HS-R","HS-L"}),"U-HS-MCS","No Match")

Can you use a OR function in an IF function.

I'm trying to check a cell on sheet 1 for certain text such as
"HS-C"
"HS-U"
"HS-D"
"HS-R"
"HS-L"
"HS"
"ST-C"
"ST"

if the cell has "HS-L" or "HS-U" or"HS-D" or"HS-R" the IF function would
return "U-HS-MCS, I could probally nest the others in the False setion of

the

IF function. I just need to know how to group them together, without

having a

long nested IF function,

By the way is there a limit to have many nested IF functions are allowed?



Limit to nested if statements. Took this from Help file:

Up to seven IF functions can be nested as value_if_true and value_if_false
arguments to construct more elaborate tests. (See Example 3 for a sample of
nested IF functions.) If you want to test more than seven conditions,
consider using the LOOKUP, VLOOKUP, or HLOOKUP function. (See Example 4 for
a sample of the LOOKUP function.)
