Creating a formula Check box field if Profile is

I'm not sure how to create a formula check box field on the Lead object to say if Profile is ________ & profile is __________, then True.  
So, I need the check box to be checked when a particular Profile creates the lead.

I'm sorry. You are supposed to use OR instead of AND. Can you please change the formula to use OR?

Hi,

You can use the $User.ProfileId field.

How can i write the formula
 
RaidanRaidan
AND($User.ProfileId = '<id of profile 1>', $User.ProfileId = '<id of profile 2>')
​

Replace the <id of profile 1> and <id of profile 2> with the Id of the profile you want to compare.

Thank you so much for responding so quickly.  I haven't gotten an error message and saved the Formula Checkbox Field, however, the checkbox is not checked for those profiles when I check a Lead.  Am i Missing something?
Here is the formula
AND($User.ProfileId = "00eU0000000tpte", $User.ProfileId = "00eU0000000UvRw", TRUE)

And do not add TRUE at the end.

I've made the change as you suggested and it now looks like this:

OR ($User.ProfileId = "00eU0000000tpte", $User.ProfileId = "00eU0000000UvRw")

It is still not working.  How will the system know make the formula checkbox field add a check to that field?

Thank you for your help:  What ended up working was the following: OR(Owner:User.ProfileId = "00eU0000000svpt", Owner:User.ProfileId = "00eU0000000RmR2", Owner:User.ProfileId = "00eU0000000RlkO",Owner:User.ProfileId = "00eU00000011i1w")
