If I well understand your problem, this formula is what you need:

=IF(OR(B1="x",B1="a",B1=3),"(*)","")

You can have till 30 conditions inside the OR function, so 30 possible
values in B1 to have an (*) in A1.

i was given the formula to use in cell A1 if cell b1 = x to make A1
either be blank if it said something other than x, or if it said x it
would generate an (*). now is there a formula that can be used in the
same senario if B1 had a series of possible values to generate a (*)
in cell A1?

thanks again

Hope I helped you.

Thanks in advance for your feedback.
