Hi
I'm trying to write a formula that does the following. If the text string in
column Q contains any of the following text strings "HELIE","PUSWJ" or
"Jersey" then return a text string of "jersey" in coumn AH.

When i try

=IF(OR(SEARCH("*jersey*",Q:Q), SEARCH("*puswj*",Q:Q),SEARCH("*helie*",Q:Q)),
"Jersey", "Not Jersey")

I get an error #value
...............
However when i tried this,

=IF(SEARCH("*jersey*",Q:Q),"Jersey",IF(SEARCH("*he lie*",Q:Q),"Jersey",IF(SEA
RCH("*PUSWJ*",Q:Q),"Jersey","Not Jersey")))

I only get a result if jersey is in the string. The other are not picked up
by the above formula.

Thank you all very much in advance.
