The formula I posted does work correctly here on my system. Try selecting
Column F and hitting the Delete button (better might be Edit/Clear/All) to
clear the cells in the column, then paste the last formula I posted back
into F2 again and try copying it down to see if that works for you.

Or do you need VBA code for some reason?


Oh do I just use this as a function for column F?- Hide quoted

Actually, i modified the function to


=IF(RIGHT(E:E,3) = "pdf", "External", IF(RIGHT(E:E,4) =
"html","Internal", "Neither HTML nor PDF"))


Now, how do I get that function into every cell within column F using
VBA? If I paste the function into F:2, and then copy it into the rest
of the column, it says the same regardless if internal or external...


The reason it returns the same value is because you modified it
incorrectly.
Since you are starting in the second row, put this in F2 and copy it
down...


=IF(RIGHT(E2,3)="pdf","External",IF(RIGHT(E2,4)="h tml","Internal","Neither
HTML nor PDF"))


And for future reference, the above is called a formula, not a function
(things like IF and RIGHT are called functions).

Yea for some reason after I copy it it still doesn't change for me.
The first one in row 2 is internal, and when I copy it they all just
still say internal when some should be external.- Hide quoted text -

I think the reason its not working for me is because everything else
in the spreadsheet is being generated by VBA? I even created a new
xls spreadsheet and entered .pdf's and .html's but it always remains
the same for me when I drag the copy over the cells.
