You can use:

=IF(OR(LEFT(G16,5)={"Table","Day-T","Eveni"}),expression 1,expression
2)

entered as an array formula (Ctrl-Shift-Enter)

I need to construct a multiple OR statement that looks at the first 5
characters of a cell (G16) and if it is Table, Day-T or Eveni, then
expression 1, otherwise expression 2.

Having asked a colleague, they have come up with:-

=IF(OR(LEFT(G16,5)="Table",LEFT(G16,5)="Day-T",
LEFT(G16,5)="Eveni),expression 1,expression 2)

Is there an easier way to write the above?

Any assistance offered would be welcome.
