OR function
I am not a computer programmer but am familiar with excel, word and
mail merging. I am having trouble with one section of the excel spreadsheet that would allow me to enter a numeric code that would then put a phrase to then be poured into the merged document. for instance, in a cell under column "diagnosis", i want to enter a 1,2,3, etc. that would be linked to terms such as articulation, language, processing, etc. i have been able to do this with the IF function but only for two options: ex. IF C2=1, "articulation". If C2 equals anything else, it will enter nothing on the mail merge document (which is fine). I don't know if this makes sense to anyone but it sure would save me a lot of time if i could use this spreadsheet entry (and the "form" format even better) for some of my reports. thanks in advance |

OR function
the OR function: thanks for all of the responses. they have been
very helpful. i tried the choose function and it worked great except then i realized that i may want to be able to select several of the choices. for example, a client may have an articulation disorder and a processing disorder. any way to do this? l d isaacs "Tom Ogilvy" wrote in message ... =Choose(C2,"articulation","language","processing", up to a total of 29) or create a list in a column =Index(sheet5!$A$1:$A$200,C2,1) -- Regards, Tom Ogilvy speechie wrote in message om...
