if statement
In using the "if" statement I would like the logic portion to state that if
cell# = v or m or d or a but the if statement seems to only work if the logic is = to a number. Should I be using another formula?

try this =IF(OR(A1="v",A1="m",A1="d",A1="a"),"Found one","Nope not there") -- Mike When competing hypotheses are otherwise equal, adopt the hypothesis that introduces the fewest assumptions while still sufficiently answering the question.

posted it gave me an error so I did not think it would post. thank-you greatly. Both suggestions worked.
