A Global Alias?

:eek: I thought that some of my other questions were weird...
I have a large, multi-page spreadsheet with lots of tables & formulas (100's)

Many of the formulas look-up data on the various tables & then return the next set of instructions:
IF(A2="RED",[Do This],IF(A2="YELLOW",[Do This],IF(A2="BLUE",[Do This], etc.

There are many of these formulas & going back & changing them individually is going to take forever.
My boss wants it to behave exactly the way that it does, except now he wants the option of inputting "RED/BLUE" & have it return a "TRUE" for either the RED or the BLUE variable (& not just that one combination). Is there anyway for me to tell it globally (maybe VBA?) that "RED/BLUE" is a positive match for either "RED" or "BLUE", so that I don't have to completely re-write hundreds of formulas & test them?
 

Excel Facts

Convert text numbers to real numbers
Select a column containing text numbers. Press Alt+D E F to quickly convert text to numbers. Faster than "Convert to Number"
Will this work.

Can use "Show Formula" function in the formula tab to see all the formulas in the workheet.

Guess you can edit it, (Ctrl+H)
