hello, i am trying to do an IF OR statement for a sheet that looks like this

[TABLE="width: 500"]
<tbody>[TR]
[TD]Column A[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]Other Non BAU Event-Use Comments[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]Other-Use Comment Box[/TD]
[/TR]
</tbody>[/TABLE]

so i want it to return a 1 if the fields say either of those items

i tried this but it didnt work:
=IF(OR($A2="Other Non BAU Event-Use Comments","Other-Use Comment Box",1""))

what am i doing wrong?
 

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(OR($A2="Other Non BAU Event-Use Comments",$A2="Other-Use Comment Box"),1,"")
