Make a list of the words you want to look for. Assume this list is in the
range F1:F10.

Enter this formula in L1 and copy down as needed:

=IF(COUNT(LOOKUP(2,1/SEARCH(F$1:F$10,D1))),J1,"")

Hi Biff,

Thanks for reply and it works, this can also solve the limitation of
nested if function up to 7 levels

Hi,

How to set a nested IF function to check column D for one or more
specific texts ,if matches it returns the corresponding value from
column J and go on the next row until it reaches the furnishing line
for example,
Column D Column J Column L

1) …travel… 200.00
IF(ISNUMBER(FIND("travel",$D1)),$J1,"") = 200.00
2) …air/fares 400.00
IF(ISNUMBER(FIND("travel",$D1)),$J1,"") = blank
3) …tolls… 50.00
IF(ISNUMBER(FIND("tolls",$D2)),$J2,"") = 50.00
4) …B’trips…travel… 124.00 Nested IF
formula ??? = 124.00
5) …B’trips…travel… tolls.. 75.00 Nested IF formula ??? =
75.00

For item 4), Nested IF formula for one or more specific texts ( ie
B'trip or travel )
For item 5), Nested IF formula for one or more specific texts ( ie
B'trip or travel or tolls )

Is it possible to set the above function such as like or contain to
check for one or more specific text from that row ?

Please help, many thanks
