IF OR Question

Barent Wagar

I'm trying to calculate a Total Amount column where if the Type field is either Faculty or EMT then the Total Amount equals Total Meals * 100 (each meal costs $100), but otherwise is $0. I keep getting errors with this:

=IF(OR(Type@row, "Faculty", Type@row, "EMT", [Total Meals]@row * 100, 0))

Hi @Barent Wagar

I hope you're well and safe!

Try something like this.

=IF(OR(Type@row, "Faculty", Type@row, "EMT"), [Total Meals]@row * 100, 0)

I hope that helps!

Be safe and have a fantastic week!

Best,

Happy to help!

Can you describe your process in more detail and maybe share the sheet(s)/copies of the sheet(s) or some screenshots? (Delete/replace any confidential/sensitive information before sharing) That would make it easier to help. (share too, andree@workbold.com)

See below:

=IF(OR(Type@row = "Faculty", Type@row = "EMT"), [Total Meals]@row * 100, 0)

Good catch! I missed it, and just noticed the missing parenthesis.
