I just tried this, but maybe I did something wrong. I'm actually using this statement as a condition for a sumif statement, where a column contains several dates, and either of two of them might qualify as criteria for a given time period.

(I'm having trouble using this form, as I don't know where I'm supposed to type my reply - there is no blinking cursor.)

=If(OR(b1=3,c15),"One or both Conditions exist","Neither Condition
exists")
