Hi,
If column A row 1 has the text "IT-MDU" how can I in column B write a formula to state that if the 1st 2 letters in column A are "IT" = 1 and if not ""? I want to import this information to Access to create a report and I need to know everything in IT development and I would ask access to do a count of column B to let me know but I need to be able to populate it in Excel 1st.
