Combining IF Functions or what works better

Trying to figure out how to show the value from a cell when doing IF.OR function.



Here is my function (not working):



=IF($P$14="";"";IF(OR($P14="PALLET";"$H14";"$L14"))


The function should show empty if empty, but show the value of cell H14 if P14=Pallet, while if different, show the value of cell L14.



Thank to all for the help.

          OR is to return TRUE when at least one of several conditions is true. You just need to return TRUE for a single condition (P4="PALLET")

            The reason for the Trim is incase you have a cell of spaces



            IF(P14="Pallet",H14,IF(TRIM(P14)="","",L14))
