If you can shorten it up feel free I am open to suggestions Thanks alot "RagDyer" wrote: What's supposed to happen when there is no match? Anyway, try this: =IF(OR(A1={"HS-U","HS-D","HS-R","HS-L"}),"U-HS-MCS","No Match") -- HTH, RD ============================================== Please keep all correspondence within the Group, so all may benefit! ============================================== "Lee" wrote in message ... Can you use a OR function in an IF function. I'm trying to check a cell on sheet 1 for certain text such as "HS-C" "HS-U" "HS-D" "HS-R" "HS-L" "HS" "ST-C" "ST" if the cell has "HS-L" or "HS-U" or"HS-D" or"HS-R" the IF function would return "U-HS-MCS, I could probally nest the others in the False setion of the IF function. I just need to know how to group them together, without having a long nested IF function, By the way is there a limit to have many nested IF functions are allowed? Limit to nested if statements. Took this from Help file: Up to seven IF functions can be nested as value_if_true and value_if_false arguments to construct more elaborate tests. (See Example 3 for a sample of nested IF functions.) If you want to test more than seven conditions, consider using the LOOKUP, VLOOKUP, or HLOOKUP function. (See Example 4 for a sample of the LOOKUP function.) gls858 |
