"OR" in Formula
I'm trying to create a formula that basically says:
IF a2 = BC or WWW, then insert the number 60, else if a2 = FR or FH, then insert the number 120, else if a2 = SS or BS or PS or AS, then insert the number 200. This has me totally confused... I've done other similar calculations but never using 'OR'. -- Thanks! Barb |

If that exhausts all possible conditions, then: =IF(OR(A2={"BC","WWW"}),60, IF(OR(A2={"FR","FH"}),120,200)) Alternatively: =LOOKUP(A2, {"BC","WWW","FR","FH","SS","BS","PS","AS"}, {60,60,120,120,200,200,200,200}) But if there are other possibilities that you neglect to cover, then: =IF(OR(A2={"BC","WWW"}),60, IF(OR(A2={"FR","FH"}),120, IF(OR(A2={"SS","BS","PS","AS"}),200,""))) ----- original message ----- "Barb" wrote: I'm trying to create a formula that basically says: IF a2 = BC or WWW, then insert the number 60, else if a2 = FR or FH, then insert the number 120, else if a2 = SS or BS or PS or AS, then insert the number 200.

Hi,
try this =IF(OR(A2="BC",A2="WWW"),60,IF(OR(A2="fr",A2="fh") ,120,IF(OR(A2="SS",A2="PS",A2="AS"),200,""))) all in 1 line -- Mike When competing hypotheses are otherwise equal, adopt the hypothesis that introduces the fewest assumptions while still sufficiently answering the question.

What you've asked for is this:
=IF(OR(A2="BC",A2="WWW"),60,IF(OR(A2="FR",A2="FH") ,120,IF(OR(A2="SS",A2="BS",A2="PS",A2="AS"),200,"n ot in list"))) Personally, I would create a list, and use Vlookup.

hi
try.. =IF(OR(A2="BC",A2="WWW"),60,IF(OR(A2="FR",A2="FH") ,120,IF(OR(A2="SS",A2="BS",A2="PS",A2="AS"),200,"" ))) careful. the formula wrapped Regards FSt1 "Barb" wrote: I'm trying to create a formula that basically says: IF a2 = BC or WWW, then insert the number 60, else if a2 = FR or FH, then insert the number 120, else if a2 = SS or BS or PS or AS, then insert the number 200.
