Default Formula in B1

Sorry, Rik, your post wasn't visible when I responded - I thought you
might have called it a day.

Sure use the following

=IF(ISERROR(MATCH(A1,listedwords,0)),"","f")

As a blank in a1 or any othoer word than the ones listed have the same result
they need not be defined... putting this formula in cell b1 will provide the
results requested.


=IF(OR(A1="green",A1="blue",A1="plant",A1="street" ),"f","")


but if when A1 is blank needs to be considered seperately then use the
following


=IF(A1="","",IF(OR(A1="green",A1="blue",A1="plant" ,A1="street"),"f",""))

Could somebody be so kind and provide me with a formula to go in
B1 that will change this cell accordinly to A1.
If A1= blank, then B1= blank
If A1= "green" or "blue" or "plant" or "street" (TEXT),then B1 will show
letter "f".(all examples without quotation of course)
If A1= any other different word, then B1= blank.
Thank you very much.


It works good, Thanks Rik Uk.
Now can the same formula be use with range of words instead of
writing each one each time. This come for another worsheet that
has 50 words and I need the "f" in B1 too.
The range is called "listedwords"
Thanks again.- Hide quoted text -
