OR Formula Syntax
Example Use Case
Testing if any condition is TRUE for logical operations
Understanding the OR Formula
The OR function in Excel tests if any condition is TRUE, returning TRUE if at least one argument evaluates to TRUE. It's a logical tool for alternatives—like validating data that must meet at least one of several criteria.
OR(A1>0, A1<-10) returns TRUE if A1 is positive or less than -10. It takes multiple logical arguments (up to 255), combining them with the 'or' operator—perfect for handling multiple acceptable conditions.
Why Use OR?
OR encompasses possibilities—think flexible validation or inclusive filters. Its any-match approach provides immediate feedback when at least one condition is met, simplifying complex rule sets.
Example with Sample Data
| Conditions | Formula | Result |
|---|---|---|
| 5>10, 5<20 | =OR(5>10, 5<20) | TRUE |
| 5>10, 5>20 | =OR(5>10, 5>20) | FALSE |
| TRUE, FALSE | =OR(TRUE, FALSE) | TRUE |
OR accepts any TRUE: 5<20 is TRUE so result is TRUE, all FALSE means FALSE. It's an options evaluator.
