Hi,
What is the cleanest way of having an if formula where if cell A1 begins with either a 1,2,3,4,5 then return “Bals” if not return “OPER”?

Hi there. Try this, which will work with alphanumeric cells (you didn't specify if that was the case) and will NOT return the wrong result if the first alphanumberic character is zero:
=IF(AND(CODE(LEFT(A1,1))>48,CODE(LEFT(A1,1))<54),"Bals","Oper")
