This example references the following sheet information:
|

Given the table above, here are some examples of using an OR() function in a sheet:
|
Formula |
Description |
Result |
|---|---|---|
|
=IF(OR([In Stock?]1 = 0, Status1 = "RED"), "Check Order Status and Stock", "On Track") |
If the first row of the In Stock column is equal to 0 (un-checked/false); or, the first row of the Status column is Red, return the value Check Order Status and Stock, if not return the value On Track |
On Track |
|
=IF(OR([Units Sold]2 > 50, [In Stock?]2 = 0), "Out Of Stock", "In Stock") |
If the second row of the Units Sold column is greater than 50; or, the In Stock column equals 0, return the value Out Of Stock, if not In Stock |
Out Of Stock |
|
=COUNTIF(Status1:Status4, OR(@cell = "Green", @cell = "Yellow")) |
