Default use the OR function inside an IF function

The column B8 does not recognize the value 101 because there is a condition
on the B8 column. when I remove the condition and simply write the vlaue 101,
the function works.

=IF(OR(B8=148,B8=149,B8=1501),"Mellon",IF(OR(B8=10 1,B8=102),"Watermelon",IF(B8=184,"Squash",IF(OR(B8 =153,B8=154),"Cucumber",IF(OR(B8=173,B8=174,B8=175 ),"Peper",IF(OR(B8=163,B8=164,B8=165,B8=166),"Toma to","N/A"))))))

any idea what to do?

Hi,

I am trying to use the OR function within an IF condition.
when I use each function seperatly, it works fine. but both functions
together always return the value of "B" - as false result, even when the
requested cell holds one of the true values.

for example:
=IF(B18=OR(148,150),"A","B")
