SharePoint List multiple conditional formula using IF and OR

Question

Is it possible to base a SharePoint List field's conditional format on multiple columns rather than just one? For example, can I make the field display if Column 1 OR Column 2 OR Column 3 equals Yes? Any advice or guidance on how to accomplish this would be greatly appreciated.

Hi @OESteve ,

Certainly! You can create a conditional formula in SharePoint that evaluates multiple columns. To achieve this, you’ll use the function along with logical operators like . Let’s say you want to display a field if either Column 1, Column 2, or Column 3 equals “Yes.”

Here’s how you can do it:

1. Create a new calculated column in your SharePoint list.
2. In the formula for the calculated column, use the following syntax:

      =IF(OR([Column1]="Yes", [Column2]="Yes", [Column3]="Yes"), "Show", "Hide")
   

3. The formula checks if any of these columns equals “Yes.” If true, it displays “Show”; otherwise, it shows “Hide.”
