Default Help with solving this if statement which uses a search for text s

Hi

I am using Excel 2007 and trying to fix this formula.

In exvcel, there are several questions which could be used in the result of
the same cell.

This is what I need fixed:

=IF(OR(ISNUMBER(SEARCH("go",YS!E13)),(ISNUMBER(SEA RCH("D",YS!E14)),(ISNUMBER(SEARCH("F",YS!E14)))))) ,"Yes","Apple")

What I'm trying to do is put multiple conditions on this cell.YS!E13
contains the word "GO", or YS contains either a "D" or "F", then the cell
should return "YES", if not, it should return "Apple".

I can't get this formula to work with this complex equation.

Thank you

Your formula is referencing 2 cells, E13 and E14.

Try it like this:

=IF(COUNT(SEARCH({"go","D","F"},YS!E13)),"Yes","Ap ple")

Forgot to mention that when you are searching multiple cells...you need to
have mutiple SEARCH conditions within COUNT..for E13, E14 etc;....

=IF(COUNT(SEARCH("GO",YS!E13),SEARCH("D",YS!E14),S EARCH("F",YS!E14)),"Yes","Apple")

Yeah, that's a possibility. It depends on the data.

What would happen if this was the data:

E13 = G
E14 = O

True..That depends on the data..Thanks Biff. The point here is that for
multiple range of cells we can use the array entered formula

No, the point here is that I'm messing with you! <g

If you don't want to use an array formula, and since we don't know what the
possible cell entries could be, something like this should be fairly safe:

=IF(COUNT(SEARCH({"GO","D","F"},E13&"^^"&E14)),"Ye s","Apple")

These responses were extremely helpful. And they both are viable in my
spreadhseet.

In answer to the posts re multiple cell references, my original equation
references four different cells.
