If at least one of the arguments is true, then OR returns TRUE.

If none of the arguments is true, then OR returns FALSE.

Note: The required separator (comma or semi-colon) automatically corresponds to your computer’s location settings.

Data Types of the Arguments

Data Type of the Result

True/False

Example 1

Determine if either one of the Beam length properties (Length Left or Length Right) exceeds a given length.

Expression

OR (Length Left > 480 cm, Length Right > 480 cm)

Result

True or False. True for all Beams where at least one Beam length exceeds the value, otherwise False.

Example 2

Determine if a Wall is fire resistant. To be fire-resistant, the wall must meet at least one of two possible conditions: its Building Material is “Reinforced Concrete - Structural”, and/or it is at least 50 cm thick.

Expression

OR (Building Material = "Reinforced Concrete - Structural", Thickness >= 50 cm)

Result

True or False. True for all Walls whose Building Material is Reinforced Concrete, and/or whose thickness is at least 50 cm.

Note

The OR function examines a series of arguments. Within the parentheses, each item must be a logical argument that can be either true or false.
