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.

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


          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))
