Hi All
I have a hundreds cells with a long text string separated by comma's
detailing the all the applications on PC as follows:
Column A, Cell A2: PC Reference
Column B, Cell B2: Access 2000, Project 2000, Front 2000, Easy CD Creator,
Adobe 5.0, etc
...And the list continues to rows 15000
Is there a way I can search the string in B2 to identify 'Project 2000' only
and then populate a blank Cell (C2) with 'Project 2000'? Something like:
IF the string in Cell B2 contains 'Project 2000' THEN populate Cell C2 with
'Project 2000'.
I'd appreciate any advise on how to create such a worksheet function.
Thanks in advance,
H
C2: =IF(ISNUMBER(FIND("Project 2000",B2)),"Project 2000","")
You can replace "Project 2000" with a cell reference where the cell contains
the application name.
