Default IF Function and Concatenation

=IF(OR(L2={37,38}),M2&K2,L2&K2)
but if L2 = 37 or 38, the result (which should be M2&K2) is actually the
L2&K2 result. What would I have done wrong?

Is this what you want:

=if(OR(D1={4,5,6}), C1 & A1, if(OR(D1={11,12,13}), C1 & B1, ""))

If D1 can contain __only__ one of the values 4, 5, 6, 11, 12 or 13, that
can
be simplified:

=if(OR(D1={4,5,6}), C1 & A1, C1 & B1)

or

=C1 & if(OR(D1={4,5,6}, A1, B1)

Also, if D1 is text, not numeric, you need to write OR(D1={"4","5","6"})
and
OR(D1={"11","12","13"}).

I have three columns that I am trying to Concatenate. I only need to
combine
two columns at a time, but I want to be able to Concatenate say Column
C
and
Column A if Column D=4, 5 or 6 or if Column D=11, 12 or 13 than Column
C
and
Column B would be Conceatenated.

Is this possible? I know how to put in the IF function, but can the IF
function have a number of possibilites in it?

Thanks so much for all of your help.
