I got a great answer for my conditional fomat =(A1,"Rr)...thanks

now how would I get this formula to return "SO" when it meets criteria.

My formula is as follows. I want to recognize either one when it occurs in that C6 cell

=IF(OR(exact(C6,"rR"),IF(EXACT(C6,"sS"),"SO",""))

maybe I should use AND instead of OR....my results just returns VALUE

Ambidextrous Undo
Undo last command with Ctrl+Z or Alt+Backspace. If you use the Undo icon in the QAT, open the drop-down arrow to undo up to 100 steps.
Your formula is not quite right, try this:

=IF(OR(EXACT(C6,"rR"),EXACT(C6,"sS")),"SO","")

The second IF() in the middle is not necessary using OR() to get the same result. If you were wanting different results based on the string, then you would nest IF()'s.
