Try this:

A2: =IF(OR(A1={1,2,3,4,5}),"x","?")

Note the braces { } above

Does that help?

Hi!

Try one of these:

=IF(OR(A1={1,2,3,4,5}),"x","?")

=IF(ISNUMBER(MATCH(A1,{1,2,3,4,5},0)),"X","?")

F1:F5 = 1;2;3;4;5

=IF(ISNUMBER(MATCH(A1,F1:F5,0)),"X","?")

Array entered using the key combination of CTRL,SHIFT,ENTER:

=IF(OR(A1=F1:F5),"x","?")
