Hi all,

Another question on excel, how do i nest conditions together for AND, OR and
NOT.

So far, what i have is

=IF (OR('A'!A1=X,'A'!A1=Y),'A'!B1,"") which means that if the field A1 has
either X or Y, 'A'B1 will be triggered. else, it'll stay blank.

My problem comes with if A1 has either X or (Y and on top of Y, field C1 is
NOT blank) then 'A'B1 will be triggered. else, it stays blank.

Anyone with any idea on how to make that work?

Thanks

Ivan

Hi

Maybe
=IF (OR('A'!A1=X,AND('A'!A1=Y,'a'!c1<"")),'A'!B1,"")

Try this.

=IF(OR('A'!A1=X,AND('A'!A1=Y,'A'!C1<"")),'A'!B1," ")

If "x" and "y" are values...
=IF(OR(A1="X",AND(A1="Y",C1<"")),B1,"")

If this post helps click Yes

=if(AND(C1<"",OR(A1=x,A1=y)), B1, "")

You can add the off-sheet syntax and replace "x" and "y" with appropriate
values.

A more obscure formulation:

=if((C1<"")*((A1=x)+(A1=y)),B1,"")

Why would you ever do that? To reduce the number of nested functions, which
is limited to 7 (8 including the outermost function) in Excel 2003.

Errata....

I see from other responses that I probably have misunderstood your logical
intent. I agree with:

=if(or(A1=x,and(A1=y,C1<""),B1,"")

or

=if((A1=x)+(A1=y)*(C1<""),B1,"")
