format cell formula

I am trying to get this to work...
IF C8 = 1 or 2 or 3 or 4 then print 200 in cell M7
IF C8 = 5 or 6 then print 250 in cell M7

I have tried various ways (hopeless at formulas) but can`t get it to work
for me.
help appreciated
thanks

Hi, Juco;
I didn't see anything in your actual question to do with formatting, but
here is one answer to the question: use the IF function with the OR function
for its first argument, 200 for its second, and another IF function for its
third. Use another OR function for the first argument in the second IF
function, 250 for the second, and "" for the third ("" returns blank). So:
=IF(OR(C8=1,C8=2,C8=3,C8=4),200,IF(OR(C8=5,C8=6),250,""))
Regards,
Ian.

There is probably another, better way, but try this method: In E1 to E6 type 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6. In F1 to F6 type 200, 200, 200, 200, 250 and 250. In M7 type this formula: =VLOOKUP(C8,E1:F6,2). In C8 type a number from 1 to 6, and either 200 or 250 will appear in M7. The ranges E1 to E6 and F1 to F6 can be put anywhere out of the way, only the cell references will need changing to reflect their new position. Also, it is easier to make changes to the 200 and 250, etc. than having to alter a formula. Try out the above on a spare sheet.

Another option:

In M7 type =CHOOSE(C8,200,200,200,200,250,250)

Assuming M7 will always have a simple value of 1,2,3,4,5 or 6

Another way:
Enter in M7:

=(OR(C8={1,2,3,4})*200+(OR(C8={5,6}))*250)
