Hi There,
Is there a way in VBA to use an IF statement and have multiple checks? So for example if I wanted to check a cell value for one of several string segments, could I do that with one if statement? I could do multiple ELSEIF statements or multiple CASE statements, but I thought it would be easier to check all in one line and then only have to insert the resulting code once.
Thanks!

Code:
Sub MultipleIFs()
Dim A As String, B As String
A = "apple"
B = "banana"
    If InStr(1, ActiveCell.Value, A) Or InStr(1, ActiveCell.Value, B) Then
        'carry out some code
    Else
    End If
End Sub
 

Excel Facts

Why does 9 mean SUM in SUBTOTAL?
It is because Sum is the 9th alphabetically in Average, Count, CountA, Max, Min, Product, StDev.S, StDev.P, Sum, VAR.S, VAR.P.
IF on its own will home to the first TRUE value

so checking for one TRUE statement should work
