Default Returning a value rather than TRUE or FALSE.

I have a formula that seems to be working OK. It is If H14 ="",and Cond 1 OR
condit 2 Or Cond 3 are met, then return the actual value from G14, otherwise
return the value from H14. When H14 is blank, and any of the OR conditions
are met, it returns "TRUE"...How can I get it to return the actual value that
is in G14, rather than "TRUE"?

Thanks

Post the formula so we can see what your OR conditions are.

Basically, it sounds like you need something like this:

=IF(AND(H14="",OR(Cond1,Cond2,Cond3)),G14,H14)

Hi,

A bit difficult to unravel without your formula as an example but try this,

=IF(H14<"",IF(OR(H14=1,H14=2,H14=3),G14,""),"")
