>OR implements the logical OR function: the result is TRUE if any of the values evaluated to TRUE.</P
><P
>@b1, trough @bN are expressions that should evaluate to TRUE or FALSE. If an integer or floating point value is provided zero is considered FALSE and anything else is TRUE.</P
><P
>If the values contain strings or empty cells those values are ignored.  If no logical values are provided, then the error #VALUE! is returned. This function is Excel compatible. </P
