Need help with creating a formula

I'm trying to write a formla for a text field.  We have a "Communication Preference Confirmed" text field that I would like to show "Recieved" if the "Communication Opt In " check box = True OR if the Email Opt Out = True

ALSO

We would also like the "Communication Preference Confirmed" text field to show "Required" if the "Communication Opt in"  checkbox is blank and the "Email Opt Out" = False

Thanks!

Hi,

IF( OR(  Communication_Opt_In__c = True,  Email_Opt_Out__c = True),  "Received",
If( AND( Communication_Opt_In__c = False,  Email_Opt_Out__c = False), "Required", null))

hello you can use this type of formula 

IF( Communication Opt in == false && Email Opt Out == false, 'Required', 'Recieved')

thanks

HI hd, Jennifer requested "check box = True OR if the Email Opt Out = True"

therefore the formula should be
IF( Communication_Opt_in__c == true || HasOptedOutOfEmail == true, 'Received', null)

I assume in there that your custom field "Communication Opt in" has the same field name as you labeled it. Otherwise you will need
to use your API name in that formula ( click insert field in the formula and simply select that one)

You can also replace null with any text value if you want to show anything if both values are false
