Why does my formula =OR(O8<>"";H9<>"";1;0) display "TRUE" when cell O8 or
H9 is empty? It should yield 0 (Zero).

It also displays and "TRUE" when these cells are not empty; it should yield
1...
 
The OR returns a Logical. You must enclose it in an IF.

=IF(OR(O8<>"";H9<>"");1;0)

The assumes that ; is a valid replacement for ,
 
Hi Felix,

=IF(OR(O8<>"";H9<>"");1;0)
