VB. If with multiple Or inside - vba

Question

I want to put this If in a macro but it gives me an error all the time. I dont know if "Or" is used correctly or not.
Dim SMAT As String
SMAT = "blahblahblah"
(...)
If Cells(h + 2, 24) <> SMAT Or SMBE Or SMES Or SMFR Or SMGB Or SMGR Or SMRO1 Or SMRO2 Or SMRO3 Or SMDE Then
C(j) = Cells(h + 2, 5)

Answer 1

Use a Select Case block instead:
Select Case Cells(H + 2, 24).Value
Case SMAT, SMBE, SMES, SMFR, SMGB, SMGR, SMR01, SMR02, SMR03, SMDE
Case Else
c(j) = Cells(H + 2, 5).Value
End Select
Or another way using Evaluate(), just for variety*:
varConditions = Array(SMAT, SMBE, SMES, SMFR, SMGB, SMGR, SMR01, SMR02, SMR03, SMDE)
If Evaluate("ISERROR(MATCH(" & Cells(H + 2, 24).Value & ",{" & _
Join(varConditions, ",") & "},0))") Then
c(j) = Cells(H + 2, 5).Value
End If
* This Evaluate method will work when the array contains numbers - if you are using strings you would have to wrap each string in additional quotation marks

Answer 2

Here is the correction
Dim SMAT As String
SMAT = "blahblahblah"
'(...)
If Cells(H + 2, 24) <> SMAT Or _
Cells(H + 2, 24) <> SMBE Or _
Cells(H + 2, 24) <> SMES Or _
Cells(H + 2, 24) <> SMFR Or _
Cells(H + 2, 24) <> SMGB Or _
Cells(H + 2, 24) <> SMGR Or _
Cells(H + 2, 24) <> SMRO1 Or _
Cells(H + 2, 24) <> SMRO2 Or _
Cells(H + 2, 24) <> SMRO3 Or _
Cells(H + 2, 24) <> SMDE Then
c(j) = Cells(H + 2, 5)
End If
Or Operator (Visual Basic)
The error is because you are trying to "talk" to VBA like a person do, but the or does not take the parameter of another or. You need to tell in every parameter of each or to tell the complete logical test
firstCheck = a > b Or b > c
firstCheck = Logical_test Or Logical_test
