You are right. Looking for "SHORT" and "SHT" works. But I want the
leave out "SHIRT". The "SH" order is right and the ending "T", but
nothing in the middle.
Actually if "B" is the 1st character in column B and column G has
"SHORT" or "SHT" I'd find what I'm looking for.

Nope. *

Each is looking for those characters in that sequence.

If you only cared about the letters SHT (in that order), you could use an
expression like:

=(COUNTIF(A1,"*s*h*t*")0)

This is not case sensitive, either.

That's Perfect!

Could the statement
OR(ISNUMBER(FIND("SHORT",G20368)),ISNUMBER(FIND("S HT",G20368)))

Be simplified to "SHT" since "SHORT" contains those characters?

Perhaps combine the two truth statements with a master OR:

=IF(OR(AND(ISNUMBER(FIND(LEFT(B20368,1),"JCR")),IF (SUM(COUNTIF(C20368,{"DST ","LVN","DNM"}))0,TRUE(),FALSE())),

I would like to combine these 2 into one formula

=IF(AND(ISNUMBER(FIND(LEFT(B20368,1),"JCR")),IF(SU M(COUNTIF(C20368,
{"DST","LVN","DNM"}))0,TRUE(),FALSE())),I20368-0.01,J20368)

=IF(OR(AND(B20368<"", ISNUMBER(FIND(LEFT(B20368,1),
"AWFUY"))),OR(ISNUMBER(FIND("SHORT", G20368)),ISNUMBER(FIND("SHT",
G20368))),SUM(COUNTIF(C20368,{"BOG","BLM","CMO"})) ),I20368-0.01,
J20368)

Each statement stands alone as far as filtering, so ISNUMBER(FIND
(LEFT
(B20368,1), "JCRAWFUY"))) won't work.

The 1st 'True' test looks at Column B and looks for values starting
with the Letter J, C, or R while at the same time checking for values
in Column C that are either * "DST","LVN","DNM"

The Second Test looks at Column B and looks for values starting with
the Letter A, W, F, U, Y. The test would also be True if Column G
contains "SHORT" or "SHT". Finally check for values in Column C that
are either *"BOG","BLM","CMO"
