Have a spreadsheet with conditions in column I and based on the value of column I, need to place a value in column Q. The formula is in column Q. All values are text. This is what I've tried.

IF(OR(I3={"AAA", "BBB", "CCC", "DDD}), "Jones", IF(OR(I3={"EEE", "FFF", "GGG'", "HHH"}), "Doe", IF(OR(I3={"III", "JJJ", "KKK", "MMM"}), "Smith"))

This isn't working for me. Help please?
 

Excel Facts

Bring active cell back into view
Start at A1 and select to A9999 while writing a formula, you can't see A1 anymore. Press Ctrl+Backspace to bring active cell into view.
=IF(OR(I3={"AAA","BBB","CCC","DDD"}),"Jones",IF(OR(I3={"EEE","FFF","GGG'","HHH"}),"Doe",IF(OR(I3={"III","JJJ","KKK","MMM"}),"Smith")))

You have to do it like this
Rich (BB code):
=IF(OR(I3={"AAA","BBB","CCC","DDD"}),"Jones" ,"Do the rest here")

Yes! After I changed the periods to commas, filled in the missing quote marks, and corrected the backwards brackets, it worked perfectly! Thank you , CA_Punit and VBE313!
