I'll try to phrase my question as clearly as I can so that you wonderful people can help me! ;)

I have Column A and Column B with Data, Column C is where I want to do the Formula and Column D is where I have the labels.

Column D is where we label a certain piece of business as registered, hold, order, walked, passed or moved.

I want to have column C calculate A/B if Column D is labeled as registered, order or hold. If Column D isn't labeled as registered, order or hold, I want a zero in Column C.

When I try to add the OR into the formula, I'm getting errors out the wazoo.

So what should my formula be?


As a sub question, if the formula includes "registered" will it pick up "Registered" or "REGISTERED" or is it caps sensitive?

Thank you so much!
 

Excel Facts

What does custom number format of ;;; mean?
Three semi-colons will hide the value in the cell. Although most people use white font instead.

Should be
Code:
=if(or(d1="registered",d1="order",d1="hold"),a1/b1,0)

cant test it right now because i'm not at a computer with excel however the above is assuming that your data starts in row 1.
