Default Complicated If, AND, OR - Conflict

I didn't understand your comment "A must be unequal to at least one of them",
and still don't. Can you put it another way, that I can understand or give
an example of what I must do for it in this case to return a FALSE (for the
2nd If)?

Thanks,

The second IF contains the construction I mentioned, which always returns TRUE

| |
| | IF(AND(D385="null",C3850,OR(K385="SCA/FACS NONCARILION",K385="SCA/NORTH

| | IF(AND(D385="null",C385<0,OR(K385="SCA/FACS NONCARILION",K385="SCA/NORTH
