Were you able to run this in a spread sheet cell?
Documentation says you can compare words, only numbers.

Hi Wade,
Off the top of my head, I'd say it should read
=IF(OR(F8="yellow",F8="y"),5,0)
Of course, I had to use semicolons to test it.
=IF(OR(F8="yellow";F8="y");5;0)
tc

Subject: [users] Using an OR inside an IF

=IF(F8=(OR("yellow","y")),5,0)

IF, F8 is equal to the word "yellow" or the letter "y" then return the number 
5, otherwise return 0.

Im getting that #VALUE! error.

ah.. I just read that any text cells are ignored.
How would I do that then?
