    Getting an OR statement to work with nested IF Statements

    =IF(OR(C224="Kitchen Assistant","Kitchen Chef"),"0",IF(OR(C224="contact Centre","Contact centre 2"),IF(T224>=9,10,IF(T224=8,7.5,IF(T224=7,2.5,"0"))),IF(T224>=9,5,IF(T224=8,3.75,IF(T224=7,1.25,"0")))))

    Hello,

    Im trying to get the above statement to work, however it wont.
    Below is what its started as but then i wanted to add in a OR stament as above so that i can have the inital checks for 2 critira instead of making a huge mess of a formula.

    =IF(C226="Kitchen Assistant","0",IF(C226="contact Centre",IF(T226>=9,10,IF(T226=8,7.5,IF(T226=7,2.5,"0"))),IF(T226>=9,5,IF(T226=8,3.75,IF(T226=7,1.25,"0")))))


    I hope this is explained well enough let me know if i can provide any more information

    Re: Getting an OR statement to work with nested IF Statements

    For your first OR, one of the following

    OR(C224={"Kitchen Assistant","Kitchen Chef"})

    OR(C224="Kitchen Assistant",C224="Kitchen Chef")

    Either will work, just showing you the 2 options that you can use.

    Re: Getting an OR statement to work with nested IF Statements

    Apart from what Jason gave you to correct your formula, if you are wanting a zero as the output rather than a text remove the quotes around the 0 so the output is actually numeric.
    IF(OR(C224="Kitchen Assistant","Kitchen Chef"),"0"...
    just a suggestion not knowing how you are using the output.

    Re: Getting an OR statement to work with nested IF Statements

    Another possible option...

    =IF(C224="Kitchen*",0,IF(C224="contact*",IF(T224>=9,10,IF(T224=8,7.5,IF(T224=7,2.5,0))),IF(T224>=9,5,IF(T224=8,3.75,IF(T224=7,1.25,"0")))))

    However, that last part (bolded) looks wrong...
    ...IF(T224>=9,5,IF(T224=8,3.75,IF(T224=7,1.25,"0")))))
    either you are missing an argument after 9.5 or your logic is wrong.
    IF(T224>=9,5...if that part is TRUE, then the next part is not possible. For this to be TRUE, T224 must be >= 9.5, so therefor T224=8 wont be tested, nor would T224=7
    1. Use code tags for VBA. [code] Your Code [/code] (or use the # button)
    2. If your question is resolved, mark it SOLVED using the thread tools
    3. Click on the star if you think someone helped you

    Re: Getting an OR statement to work with nested IF Statements

    The whole thing looks wrong, Ford!

    I came up with =IF(LEFT(C224,7)="Kitchen",0,LOOKUP(T224,{0,7,8,9},{0,2.5,7.5,10})/IF(LEFT(C224,7)="Contact",2,1)) while I was waiting for the OP to respond to the existing suggestions, but I'm not entirely convinced. Trying to break down messy formulas without knowing what they are meant to be doing is not one of my favourite pastimes.

    Nearly forgot to ask, is the wildcard in a logical test a new feature in an unreleased version of excel? You're the second person to suggest it recently, but I can't get it to work
