Try
=AND(AND(AI16<"No
Response",AI16<"GetBack",AI16<"Returning",AI16< "Returned"),(OR(AND(AQ16="Ph",AR160,AP160,AW16=" ",AX16=""),(AND(AQ16="Ph",AR160,AP160,AW16=""))) ))

For it to return TRUE
1. AND(AI16<"No
Response",AI16<"GetBack",AI16<"Returning",AI16< "Returned") should be TRUE
and
Either
2. AND(AQ16="Ph",AR160,AP160,AW16="",AX16="")

or

3. AND(AQ16="Ph",AR160,AP160,AW16="")
have to be true

btw 2 is not required if you have 3 and using OR(2,3)

If this does not work then I suggest you enter the 3 AND conditions in
separate cells then combine them into the formula for clarity. Once you are
comfortable then you can combine them into one cell.

Thank you sheeloo!
What about the rest of my formula. Are the parenthesis in the correct areas?
I keep getting an error message when I click OK after entering the formula.

OR(AI16<"No Response",AI16<"Get Back",AI16<"Returning",AI16<"Returned")
will ALWAYS return TRUE

Use AND(AI16<"No Response",AI16<"Get
Back",AI16<"Returning",AI16<"Returned")
to get TRUE when AI16 does not equal any of the four statuses.

What's wrong with this Conditional Formula?
=AND(OR(AI16<"No Response",AI16<"Get
Back",AI16<"Returning",AI16<"Returned")),(OR(AND (AQ16="Ph",AR160,AP160,AW16="",AX16=""),(AND(AQ1 6="Ph",AR160,AP160,AW16="")))).

My goal is to evaluate the first OR condition and if True then evaluate
either of the AND conditions as follows: AND(OR(if true), then calculate
(OR(AND(____),AND(____))

IF any of the first OR conditions are True, then perform the calculations in
either of the AND conditions, whichever one is True. I believe my syntax is
incorrect as I get error messages when pressing OK.
