How do I nest an OR function within an AND function?

[Guest]

Here is my example - can I do this? What have I done wrong I can't get it to
work.

IF(AND(OR($AD4=â€Aâ€,$AD4=â€SUâ€,$AD4=â€GFâ€),$AF4<>â€â€),â€Updated Allowance is Not
Applicableâ€,"")

When I remove the "smart quotes" from your formula, it works as it
should. What does "I can't get it to work" mean?

Debbie,

Your formula as shown:

=IF(AND(OR($AD4="A",$AD4="SU",$AD4="GF"),$AF4<>""),"Updated Allowance is Not
Applicable","")

worked fine for me. What logic do you want to actually use?

Your formula will check if AD4 is either "A", "SU" or "GF" AND AF4 is not blank

That can be simplified to

=IF(AND(OR($AD4={"A","SU","GF"}),$AF4<>""),"Updated Allowance is not
Applicable","")
