When i try to run the IF below i get this error, any ideas why?

Run time error 13
Type Mismatch


If Originator Or ProposedActionee Or Approval1 Or Approval2 Or Approval3 Or Approval4 Or Approval5 Or Approval6 = UserNames Then

All the variables are as type string. Basically each of these variables are peoples names eg "LUKE.SHUTTLEWOOD". If "LUKE.SHUTTLEWOOD" is equal to the UserNames variable then do X else do Y.

I dont know why i get type mismatch when all variables are string??!!

Which Excel functions can ignore hidden rows?
The SUBTOTAL and AGGREGATE functions ignore hidden rows. AGGREGATE can also exclude error cells and more.
You have to repeat the equality test for each variable, eg:

If Originator = UserNames Or ProposedActionee = UserNames Or Approval1 = UserNames Or Approval2 = UserNames Or Approval3 = UserNames Or Approval4 = UserNames Or Approval5 = UserNames Or Approval6 = UserNames Then
