Multiple IF logical tests

Hi there! I am working on a system than needs to eliminate lines of data.

I have used the function below to ID if a row (in this case 21) is not equal to the text in J37.

=IF(G21<>$J$37,(SUM(J21:L21)))

It works great: if it is not equal, it adds the numbers I need, and if it is, it comes back FALSE.

However, I need it to check if G21 is not equal to two different cells: J37 and H37. If it is equal to either, I need it to come up FALSE. More over, I need this to work with up to 25 different checks.

Is this possible?

=IF(AND(G21<>$J$37,G21<>$H$37),(SUM(J21:L21)))

You can add many conditions in the AND... but perhaps if there is some pattern to the checks that you can define, it might be possible to shorten to one condition....

How would that work? I have a patter where I would want to add in every 3rd column.

Maybe a sample workbook might help visualize it?
