Default OR function in array-entered IF function

Is there any way to handle this without having to go that route? I'm setting
this up for several people to use, they will be the ones inserting rows, and
I have a feeling that they will not get that right ever.

That can be easily handled. When you insert rows in the data sheet, select
both the data and summary sheets, insert the row(s) and then on the summary
sheet, (make sure only the summary sheet is selected) copy the fomula above
the inserted row(s) to the inserted row(s).

I have one other glitch becuase of how I use the sheet. I need the ability
to
insert rows in my data sheets and have them fall into place in the summary
sheet. This worked out before since I had the same array-entered formula
in
the entire 5 columns x 520 rows array in the summary sheet. I would only
end
up losing the bottom rows, which I can compensate by having the same
formula
in 550 rows in the data sheet and filtering out the blank rows until they
are
needed when I add 30 more rows.
With the formula you suggested, when I add in a row 15 (for instance) in
the
data sheet, because the formula for the summary sheet in specific for each
row, it doesn;t update the whole summart sheet, in only leaves out that
new
row. The auto formulas shift and in one row it will say
=IF(OR(datasheet!F14="c",datasheet!F14="___"),data sheet!A14:E14,"")
and the next will say
=IF(OR(datasheet!F16="c",datasheet!F16="___"),data sheet!A16:E16,"")

Does this make sense?

I really appreciate your help.

I'm sorry. I just tried it again and it worked perfectly. THANK YOU!

One more fine tuning item. In the rows that contain "___" in column F,
the
only column that has data is column A, the others columns in these rows
pull
zeros into the summary sheet. Keeping in mind I need all the columns for
the
rows with a "c" in column F, is there an easy way to make the zeros in
the
rwos with a "___" in column F appear blank? I can say it in words, but I
fele
like the formula would get pretty complex.

Thank you, however, the 3 underscores in the data sheet doesn't turn
out a
TRUE for the formula. I switched it to "1" just to check and see if it
was
the ___ that was the porblem and still nothing is carried over for the
second
part of the OR statement. However, now it doesn't carry over all the
data,
only the lines with "c".

Put this array formula in A1:E1, for example, on sheet1 and copy down
through row 520.
I changed the test for "1" to "___", 3 underscores as this is what
you said
you want.

=IF(OR(datasheet!F1="c",datasheet!F1="___"),datash eet!A1:E1,"")

I read to post on how to put an OR function inside and IF function.
I can't
get it to work when I try to put an OR function into my
array-entered IF
function.

This is what I have now:

=IF(OR('datasheet'!F1:F520="c",'datasheet!F1:F520= "1"),'datasheet!A1:E520,"")

I'd like it to only bring the A:E data over to the summary sheet if
the F
in
the row of the datasheet is "c" or "___"(three
underscores)...however it
is
moving in all my data.

Can anyone tell me where I made a mistake, or if this is just not
poossible.
