if cell value is equal to multiple text values

Hi,

i already have a formula and need to add a condition to this formula.

The formula that i already have is =IF(($AG$1+X4)>T4,($AG$1+X4),T4)

Now i have list of 7 words in coloumn K. eg : Open,closed, hold, cancelled, On boarded, Available, Not available.

This is what i am trying to do :

If cell K2 is equal to "Open" or "closed" or "hold" or "cancelled" or "On boarded", follow the original formula =IF(($AG$1+X4)>T4,($AG$1+X4),T4).
and if cell K2 is equal to "Available" or "Not available" copy the content from different cell "R2".

Please help

Try this:

=IF(ISNUMBER(MATCH(K2,{"Open","closed","hold","cancelled","On boarded"},0)),IF($AG$1+X4>T4,$AG$1+X4,T4),R2)

Hope this helps.

Hi Pete,

Can you also please explain me how this formula work. i am new to ISNUMBER and MATCH functions.

MATCH allows you to see if a value exists in a list. For an exact match the final parameter is set to zero or FALSE. If a match is found then the function returns the relative position of the value within the list. However, if the value does not exist in the list the function returns #N/A. The ISNUMBER function traps this error and allows you to return something else instead. So basically the formula is saying:

if K2 is in the list then calculate the original expression otherwise return R2.

Hope this helps.

Pete
