OR Formula Tutorial

The OR formula is a logical function used to check if any of the given conditions are true. It returns TRUE if at least one condition is true, and FALSE if all conditions are false.

Syntax:
=OR(condition1, [condition2], ...)

  • condition1, condition2, …: These are the conditions you want to test. You can test up to 255 conditions.

Example 1:
=OR(A1>10, B1<5)

  • If A1 is 15 and B1 is 3, the result is TRUE because both conditions are true.
  • If A1 is 8 and B1 is 7, the result is FALSE because neither condition is true.

Example 2:
=OR(A1="Yes", B1="No")

  • If A1 is “Yes” and B1 is “No”, the result is TRUE because at least one condition is true.
  • If A1 is “No” and B1 is “No”, the result is FALSE because neither condition is true.

Tips:

  1. Use OR with other logical functions like IF to create more complex conditions.
  2. Ensure that all conditions are logical expressions that return TRUE or FALSE.
