    Re: IF and OR

    If you are looking to have 3 options (yes, no and other) then the below formula will work. Replace the Message One and Message Two text with the appropriate message.

    If you are just doing Yes and No then you could use the shorter formula below with one IF statement

    Re: IF and OR

    Evertjvr has the correct answer although the last parenthesis has "slipped" slightly. The OP was asking for IF & OR.

    =IF(OR(A1="Yes",A2="Yes"),"Wow","Shame")

    Re: IF and OR

    Simply substitute the quotes for the cells where the text messages are

    =IF(OR(A1="Yes",A2="Yes"),G1,H1)

    Input the messages in G1 and H1 as required

    Re: IF and OR

    If and or will not help you.

    With A1 as the only variable the a double IF will be your answer.

    Where B1 and C1 is the cells with message to fetch and that will be displayed in A1
