If statement help needed
Hi
Unless you are using XL2007, there is a limit of 7 for nested functions.
If you create a list of your 7 items you are looking for in say cells
A1:A7, then you could use
=IF(SUMPRODUCT(--(ISNUMBER(FIND($A$1:$A$7,D1)))),"G","Not OK")
Note I have used Find as this is case sensitive as opposed to Search.
Clearly your list can be more than 7 items, just extend the range A1:A7
to cover the number of items concerned.

Information",E12)),"C",IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH("Departm ent",E12)),"D",IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH("Promotion",E12) ),"E",IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH("Reports

The error message is as follows:
The formula you type contains an error
Can anyone help me with this?
