Place X in cell if criteria met`

[Guest]

Is there a formula to do this?

If cell B2 = pencils
Put an "X" in cell B7

If cell B2 = pens
Put an "X" in cell B8

If cell B2 = erasers
Put an "X" in cell B9

Thanks in advance

I need to add another criteria to this.

If B2 = "Pencils" or "pads" or "staplers"
In Cell B8 put an "X"

Can you help me with this formula?

Thanks so much!
