# OR

Evaluates multiple conditions and returns TRUE if at least one condition is satisfied.

The **OR** function returns TRUE if at least one of the specified conditions is true. It returns FALSE only when all conditions evaluate to FALSE. It is commonly used with IF and other conditional functions to evaluate multiple criteria.

### Syntax

```javascript
OR(logical_test1,[logical_test2], ... )
```

### Arguments

logical\_test1 - The first condition to evaluate. Required.

logical\_test2, ... - Additional conditions to evaluate. Optional.

### **Return value**

Either TRUE or FALSE.

### **Example**

<pre class="language-javascript"><code class="lang-javascript"><strong>IF(OR([Region]=="United States",[Sub Category]=="Juices"),30500000,0)
</strong></code></pre>

In this example, values are assigned to the *2027 Plan* using the **OR** function within an [IF](/formula-syntax/conditional-statements/if.md) statement. The formula returns 30.5m for records where the *Region* is 'United States' **or** the *Sub Category* is 'Juices', and 0 for all other records.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.inforiver.com/formula-syntax/logical-functions/or.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
