IF OR FORMULA
 

Hi, I am using 2 very similar formulas - the first one has worked however the
second one returns the result "name" error. I am trying to say if cell
AG19=either LH,AC,EA,AR,BZ,AZ the answer is yes otherwise no, but I cant get
this to work, this is my formula,,, can you help me?



=IF(OR(AG19=ac,AG19=AR,AG19=EA,AG19=BZ,AG19=AZ,AG1 9=LH),"YES","NO")

Many thanks
Paula

Hi Paula

You have to put text values in quotes:

=IF(OR(AG19="ac",AG19="AR",AG19="EA",

IF OR FORMULA
 

Are LH, AC, EA, AR, BZ, AZ all variables? If so, how are they defined. If
they are just supposed to be 2 letters, then they should each have quotes
around them.
=IF(OR(AG19="ac",AG19="AR",AG19="EA",AG19="BZ",AG1 9="AZ",AG19="LH"),"YES","NO")

If AC is a string, you should use "AC"...

Hi John,

Thanks for the great advice, I put quotes round them and that has worked...
could I add an additional condition to this formula to also only apply yes if
cell j19 equals a or blank?
