Validation of partial data in a cell.
I would like to know how I can perform an IF statement on a cell when looking
at just the first few characters in that cell. Any suggestions? i.e. Cell A1 = "Test" If(A1={first two characters},1,0) Thanks in advance, Chris. |

You mean like this?
=If(MID(A1,1,2)="Te",1,0) Chris wrote: I would like to know how I can perform an IF statement on a cell when looking at just the first few characters in that cell. Any suggestions? i.e. Cell A1 = "Test" If(A1={first two characters},1,0) Thanks in advance, Chris. |

Validation of partial data in a cell.
=if(left(a1,2)="te",1,0)
or if you're looking to return 0 or 1: =--(left(a1,2)="te") the -- stuff changes the true/false to 1/0.
