Comments on: Excel IF OR function with formula examples

IF is one of the most popular Excel functions and very useful on its own. Combined with the logical functions such as AND, OR, and NOT, the IF function has even more value because it allows you to test multiple conditions in desired combinations. Continue reading →

      1. Thank you for this but I am not looking for the delimiter. What I am trying to get is the "RATES". For instance if I input "Print - Plain TEXT" on "SERVICE" then "Long / Folio" on the "PAPER SIZE" then "Grayscale" on "Print colour" it will get me automatically the "RATE" of 7.00..

  4. Hi,

    Can you please help. i need help with the following

    =IF(OR(K20="DE",K20="FR",K20="SE",K20="ES",K20="IE",K20="IT",K20="DK",K20="NL",Z20>150),"GB 320000",K20)

    if for example K20= "CH" is not listed in the above formula. is there an add on to this formula to just show K20 as CH

    Hope this makes sense.

    thanks

    2. this is the full formula i'm looking for, but no joy. help would be greatly appreciated

      =IF($K20="DE",IF($Z20>150,GB 320000),IF($K20="FR",IF($Z20>150,GB 320000),IF($K20="SE",IF($Z20>150,GB 320000),IF($K20="ES",IF($Z20>150,GB 320000),IF($K20="IE",IF($Z20>150,GB 320000),IF($K20="IT",IF($Z20>150,GB 320000),IF($K20="DK",IF($Z20>150,GB 320000),IF($K20="NL",IF($Z20>150,GB 320000),IF($K20="CH",IF($Z20>0,CH)

  5. I am using the following formula, but I am finding examples where the SUM of T to V = 2 in the first argument and it is still returning a Compliant result when it should be Non Compliant for not being = to 3?

    =IF(OR(N46=1,SUM($T46:$V46)=3,N46=0,SUM($T46:$U46)=2),"Compliant","Non Compliant")

    1. Hello!
      You are using the logical OR function. If at least one condition is true, the formula returns TRUE.

      1. Simple formula, but I can't figure out how to use IF, or if it is IF OR or IF AND to nest the ifs.

        Column A (Salary) has values ranging from 10 to 100.
        I want to indicate in Column B whether the numbers in Column A would be, '75 and below,' '50 and below,' and '25 and below.'
        I can do the basic =IF(A2<=100,"100 or less","0") but then get stuck trying to add the '75 and below,' '50 and below,' and '25 and below.'
        Thanks!

  6. Hi,

    Thanks for you great works.

    I am working on a file with column A containing dropdown list of numbers 100, 200, and 300. The number represents "account department", "legal department" and "sales department" respectively.
    How can I make column B dependent on what is chosen on the dropdown list of column A? That is, if 100 is chosen on the dropdown list in column A, I want column B to return "account department" on its own.

    Thank yoy.

  7. I would like to calculate a sum of products, but with a pricing break.

    1st item= $50, 2nd item onwards = $70 each

    Let's say if A buys 3 products, he will have to pay $50 for the first product, for the other 2 items, he will have to pay $70 each.

    How could I create a formula for this problem? Hope you could assist me, it'll be a great help

    Thank you in advance

  8. I'm trying to use IF to show "ok" or "out of balance" if a value is over or under by more than 5%.
    Cell C20 has a value of 700
    Cell C21 has a value of 650
    My formula for D20 is =C20-C21 giving a value of 50
    My formula for D20 is =IF(D20< C20*5%,"Ok","Out of balance")
    This works but if the figures in C20 & C21 were reversed the value in D20 is -50 and shows as"Ok"
    What I want is the formula to show "out of balance" if the value was over OR under by more than 5%

  9. Cell I2="Any Text", J2="Blank Text,K2="Blank Text,L2="Blank Text,

  11. Hi there-
    I'm trying to code blood pressure according to JNC 7 criteria for normal/prehypertension/stage 1/stage 2 categories. i have different collumns for "systolic" and "diastolic" blood pressure numbers. A blood pressure can qualify for prehypertension, for example, if the systolic OR the diastolic numbers qualify. Here is what I have - can you help me figure out why it's not working?
    =IF(OR(G10 > 159,H10 > 99),"2",IF(OR(G10 > 139,H10 > 89),"1",IF(OR(G10 > 119,H10 > 79)"PRE",IF(G10 < 120,"NORM"))))

    1. Hi!
      I can't see your data and therefore can't tell what doesn't work in the IF function with multiple conditions. But a comma was missing in the formula.

      =IF(OR(G10 > 159,H10 > 99),"2",IF(OR(G10 > 139,H10 > 89),"1",IF(OR(G10 > 119,H10 > 79),"PRE",IF(G10 < 120,"NORM"))))

      Maybe that will help.

  12. Trying to combine these two IF statements into one IF OR statement:

    =IF(F:F<TODAY(),"Past Due", "Future Ship")

    =IF(G:G=H:H, "Picked" , "N/A")

    Any help would be appreciated!

    1. Hi1
      What you want to do is not possible. These formulas use different values and are not connected in any way.Please re-check the article above.

  13. What is the best way to combine the two following statements. Combing is where I seem to have problems.

    =IF(AND(K2="Urgent"),IF(N21,"Fail")))

    =IF(AND(K2="Not Urgent"),IF(N23, "Fail")))

    Thank you

  15. Hello there!

    I could not get this formula to work. Could you help me identify where could be the error? It always gives a #VALUE! result.

    1. Hi!
      Your formula is so big that it is impossible to understand it. It's not clear what you want to do. However, keep in mind that such a formula always returns an array of values.

      =IF(A1:A10={"a","b","c"},TRUE)

      See the result of this formula.

  17. I need help,
    I have this scenario where Agent 1 has a ceiling of 500, Agent 2 has 250 and Agent 3 has 150.
    If at anytime any of the agents pay goes above the ceiling, then 10% is calculated on the ceiling if the pay is below the ceiling then the 10% is calculated on that amount

    How do i use IF statement to achieve this in Excel

      1. This works. Thank you

  18. Hello,
    Is there a way to combine two formulas below:
    =IF(B63=TRUE; (G63)-(F63*1,21*D63); 0)
    =IF(B63=TRUE; (G63)-(F63*1,21*D63); 0)

    Tried this way, but it's not working:
    =IF(B63=TRUE; (G63)-(F63*1,21*D63); 0); OR(=IF(B63=TRUE; (G63)-(F63*1,21*D63); 0))

    Thank You for Your time!

    1. Sorry, mistake! I meant:

      =IF(B63=TRUE; (G63)-(F63*1,21*D63); 0)
      =IF(H63="Paid"; (G63)-(F63*1,21*D63); 0

      Tried this way, but it's not working:
      =IF(B63=TRUE; (G63)-(F63*1,21*D63); 0); OR(=IF(H63="Paid"; (G63)-(F63*1,21*D63); 0))

      1. Hi!
        I think you have not read the article very carefully. There is an answer to your question.

        =IF(OR(B63=TRUE;H63=”Paid”);(G63)-(F63*1,21*D63); 0)

        1. I really appreciate Your answer! Thank You!

  19. How To Extract Unique Values or Duplicate Names and sort (A-Z) Based On Criteria In Excel? Using index or match.

    4 Ranchi M.S Dhoni 85
    5 Ranchi Sorabh Tiwari 85

  20. Your examples helped me find a solution - thanks for posting this page.

    Please check to see if the following is an error in the section "IF OR statement in Excel" where you state the lines below [in brackets like those enclosing this phrase to avoid confusion if I used double quotes]:

    [ Here's is an example of the IF OR formula in the simplest form:

    =IF(OR(B2="delivered", B2="paid"), "Closed", "Open")

    What the formula says is this: If cell B2 contains "delivered" or "cancelled", mark the order as "Closed", otherwise "Open". ]

    However, as I read the formula, it indicates that if cell B2 contains "delivered" or "paid" (not "cancelled") then the order will be marked as "Closed". If you look at the screen shot, the row containing "Cancelled" shows a Status of "Open", not "Closed" as your explanation states it will. Please clarify for your readers.

    1. Hello!

      Of course, it is "paid", not "cancelled". Thank you for pointing that out, fixed!

  21. I am trying to say that if One Cell = this amount add / subtract a Certain amount.

    Can this be done??

    EX: =IF(D6/7=E6,G6) OR (D6/7=E6,H6) OR (D6/7=E6,I6) OR (D6/7=E6,J6) OR (D6/7=E6,K6)

  22. =IF(AND(A2="VISHAL", B2="HP", C2=610), "6", "10"), IF(AND(A2="VISHAL", B2="HP", C2=2310), "15", "20")

    WILL THIS WORK?????????
    I NEED TO ENTER MULTIPLE RESULT IN A SINGLE CELL, FROM DIFFERENT CONDITIONS.

    1. Hello!
      Your conditions contradict each other. For example, if A2 = ”VISHAL”, B2 = ”HP”, C2 = 900 then the first condition will return 10, and the second - 20.

  23. This isn't working. What am I doing incorrectly?

    =IF((OR(E2=Daily, E2=Weekly)), Next Shift, ENTER DATE)

    Column E indicates if a project is due daily or weekly. Column F would ideally calculate today+1 for daily or today+8 days for weekly.

    1. Hi,
      You must enclose text values in quotation marks, such as "Weekly".
      What is "Next Shift, ENTER DATE"?
      Based on your description, it is hard to completely understand your task. However, I’ll try to guess and offer you the following formula:

      =IF(E2="Daily",TODAY()+1,IF(E2="Weekly",TODAY()+8,""))

      Hope this is what you need.

  24. I got it! thank you. :)

  25. Hi.. need help.
    i have date today and start date, to calculate the case age but another column is the status of the case, close or open.. so the logic will be.. calculate the case age if the case is still open..

    thank you in advance.

    1. Hello!
      In the condition of the IF function, write down the check that the case is open. If the condition is met, calculate the age using the DATEDIF function.
      Hope you’ll find this information helpful.

    2. I got this formula: =IF(OR(C2="Closed","--"),(SUM(A2-B2)))
      but..
      it's working but the other way around. it calculates the age if the case is marked as "Closed".

  26. Hi, I would like to know a formula to show if something if greater than or less than a number to show a figure for example

    hope this makes sense.

    I need to derive a result(column title) if ALW(column title) is 1.56 and up its Oversize, if ALW is 1.20-1.55 its Goodsize, if ALW is 1.10-1.19 its Undersize, if ALW is 1.0-1.09 its Offsize, and if ALW is below 1.0 its Runts

    1. Hello!
      I’m sorry but your task is not entirely clear to me.
      What is the column title? In Excel and other spreadsheet applications, the column header is the colored row of letters used to identify each columnwithin the sheet, or workbook. Column title is a letter.
      If your question is about an Excel cell -

      =IF(A1>=1.56,"Oversize", IF(A1>=1.2,"Goodsize", IF(A1>=1.1,"Undersize", IF(A1>=1,"Offsize", "Runts" ))))

  35. Trying to write a formula that picks out the word grapefruit from D14 or the word recorder from D14 and gives a zero.. if those words aren't found then F14-E14. The formula works for just Grapefruit but when I add in the Or and Recorder it doesn't. What am I writing wrong? It's telling me to many arguments.

      =IF(D3<=E3, "Good", "Review")

      1. Hi Sam,
        Your original formula would work as well. You just had to move the other bracket to close off the or( function.
        =IF(OR(D3<E3,D3=E3),"Good", "Review")

  37. Can you help me on the error in this formula. =IF(ISNUMBER($AH15),ANDIF($AH15>150,(" High Random Blood Sugar "&$AH15&" Mg.%. ", "")&" "&IF($AH15>150,"Urine Sugar "&$AI15&". ", ""),("")

  38. I have a price range for warranty coverage. I need to see when sales either sold the item over or under the range for a warranty package. For example:
    Min Product $ Range Max Product $ Range Product $ Sold

    300 599.99 1049.00
    1000 1499.99 578.00
    600 799.99 1456.00

    I need a formula that tells me if the product sold for $269.00 was "oversold" or "undersold" contract range? I tried =if(or(c1=B2,"oversold"))
    It doesn't work. What am I doing wrong?

    1. A = Min / B = Max / C = Sold
      =IF(C1B1,"OVERSOLD","")

      1. Something is wrong with the formula not being posted properly.
        =IF(C1B1,"OVERSOLD","")
        It should be:
        =IF(C1 less than A1,"UNDERSOLD",IF(C1 greater than B1,"OVERSOLD","")

  39. Hello,

  40. I have student totals,I want to apply comments, 400 and above should have good performance, 300-400 should have fair performance, below 300 should have poor performance,the cell for total is I

  41. I need a formula in google spreadsheet that will:
    +1 when the value is >=5,
    +2 when the value is >=10,
    +3 when the value is >=15,
    +4 when the value is >=20,
    +5 when the value is >=25
    The formula I am currently using is:
    =IF(F7>=5,H7+1,IF(F7>=10,H7+2,IF(F7>=15,H7+3,IF(F7>=20,H7+4,H7))))
    This formula is working for the +1 when the value is >=5, but when the value is >=10, it is still adding +1.
    Please Help!

    1. Hello Tina,

      You see, your first condition fits to all other conditions as well - the value is greater than 5. You need to limit each condition and check, for example, if the number is not only greater than or equal to 5 but also less than 10.
      Your formula for spreadsheets should look like this:
      =IF(AND(F7>=5,F7<10), H7+1, IF(AND(F7>=10,F7<15), H7+2, IF(AND(F7>=15,F7<20), H7+3, IF(F7>=20,H7+4, H7))))

  42. I have 2 columns, work email(D2) & personal email(E2). I am trying to create a formula in a new field (preferred email) that says if D2 is blank use E2 (if there is a value) or if E2 is blank use D2 or leave blank. Is this possible?

    1. Hi Sue,

      If you love compact formulas, use this one :)

      =IF(D2<>"", D2, IF(E2<>"", E2, ""))

      1. That's awesome.

    2. Hi,
      If I get it right, your task is as follows: if a cell in Column D contains an email address, a formula is to bring it; if not, it should bring an email address from a cell in Column E; if both cells are empty, the formula has to bring nothing. I hope you do not mind lengthy formulas:

      =IFS(OR(AND(N(ISBLANK(D2))=0, N(ISBLANK(E2))=0), AND(N(ISBLANK(D2))=0, N(ISBLANK(E2))=1)), D2, AND(N(ISBLANK(D2))=1, N(ISBLANK(E2))=0), E2, AND(N(ISBLANK(D2))=1, N(ISBLANK(E2))=1), "")

  43. Someone please help me, i cant get this to work

    In column C I enter one of 7 names.
    Depending on the name I want different results in column N
    So
    If the name is
    1 - Andy Black the result should be 400
    2 - Mr Jet, Nina Sven or Mike Young the result should be 600
    3 - Dr Joe, Miss Adams or Neil Foe the result should be 800
    4 - Ms Hard the result should be 1000
    5 - Mr Woo the result should be 1200

    Which formula do I use to solve this?

    1. Hi Björne,
      The following formula suggests itself:

      =IFS(C2="Andy Black", 400, OR(C2="Mr Jet", C2="Nina Sven", C2="Mike Young"), 600, OR(C2="Dr Joe", C2="Miss Adams", C2="Neil Foe"), 800, C2="Ms Hard", 1000, C2="Mr Woo", 1200)

  44. Formula 2. If a cell is this OR that, then calculate
    =IF(OR(D3>0,D390,D3180,D3270,D30,D390,D3180,D3270,D3<360),W3] are not coming
    - need to know what to change to make it work .. than you

  45. I am looking for the correct formula to use to return the greatest of two values. For example, if Q3 (5.89) is greater than R3 (7.452), I want S3 to show R3 value (7.452). If Q17 (28.86) is greater than R17 (3.105), I want S17 to show Q17 value (28.86).

    1. Hi Jwalker,
      I hope that your task may be expressed in the following way: if the value in Cell R3 is less than the value in Cell Q3, the value from Cell Q3 is needed; if the value in Cell R3 is more than the value in Cell Q3, the value from Cell R3 is needed. If so, here is the formula you could apply:

      =IF(Q3 < R3, R3, Q3)

  46. I need to validate customer order to ensure it is not less than minimum order value(MOV) and not less than minimum order qty. We validated order value on one column, filter out the order lines with order value lower than MOV and then validated order qty on another column. Is there shortcut to have all the validation performed under single column with a sophisticated nested if function?

  47. hi everyone,
    how can i formulate this one?
    if >=6 : full assistance
    if =4 or 5 : half assistance
    if <= 3 : no assistance

    1. Hi Farzaneh,
      I hope the following formula will do the job:

      =IFS(D2<=3, "no assistance", OR(D2=4,D2=5), "half assistance", D2>=6, "full assistance")

  48. So how would I do this? If cell A1 is equal to 10, I want to multiply B1 by ten, but if A1 is equal to 25 I want to multiply B1 by four, but if A1 is equal to 50 I want to multiply B1 by 2.
    Thanks in advance!

    1. Hi Marty,
      I think that both the IF function and the IFS function may help you with your task. Please choose whatever you like:

      =IF(A1=10, B1*10, IF(A1=25, B1*4, IF(A1=50 ,B1*2)))

      =IFS(A1=10, B1*10, A1=25, B1*4, A1=50, B1*2)

      If you feel like exploring the subject, you may find it helpful to read the following articles:
      'Excel Nested IF statement: examples, best practices and alternatives', 'Excel nested IF statement - multiple conditions in a single formula', and 'Use the new Excel IFS function instead of nested IF'.

  49. Hi all
    I want to differentiate the cell values into the crores, Lakh, Thousand, Hundred, Tens, Units
    Example : -
    123456789
    12 Crores 24 Lakh 56 Thousand 7 Hundred 89
    So how will i do can anyone here who can help me

  50. Hi, Hoping someone can help.
    I'm trying to write a formula using the IF, AND, or OR function but can't get the formula correct. It should be simple, really.
    The conditions are;
    If the SUM of Cells E4:G4 = between 10 and 15, then Cell G14 = 25
    If the SUM of Cells E4:G4 is greater than or equal to 15, then Cell G14 = 50

    Then there's one other result that I'm trying to achieve (in a separate cell but a similar formula)
    If the SUM of Cells E4:P4 = between 400 and 600, then Cell P15 = 10
    If the SUM of Cells E4:P4 is greater than or equal to 600, then Cell P15 = 20
    I can't work out what I'm doing wrong, I wont paste what formulas i currently have to avoid causing a case of mass confusion.
    THANKS IN ADVANCE

    1. =IF(AND(SUM(E4:G4)>10,SUM(E4:G4)15,50,""))

      =IF(AND(SUM(E4:P4)>400,SUM(E4:P4)600,25,""))

      Completely butchered the original answer. This one should work.

    2. =IF(AND(SUM(E4:G4>10),SUM(E4:G4=15,50,"")))

      =IF(AND(SUM(E4:P4>400),SUM(E4:P4=600,20,"")))
