The OR function only returns True or False. The function will always return
True or False if the first argument is True and blank if false. Since your %
are named ranges, you could use a vlookup with the named range in the
calculation:
=IF(H3="Y",vlookup(to retrieve amount),"")
confusing how you would return a value with this formula other than a %.
But you could further edit the function in the 'if true' segment to multiply
that % or what have you.

I was hoping to auto calculate the Budget column but I ran into a glitch
with the formula below:

=IF(H3="Y",OR(I3=a,I3=b,I3=e,I3=f),"") 'Returns "False" or "True" rather
than reduction in Budget column

How can I adjust this logic function? Function Names: a,b,e,f. All work
independently of each other but I need to enclose them all in one function.
