How do I find specific words and reference it
I want Excel to say "Westmidlands" if Postcode in column J starts with "B or
CV or W" and "Scotland" if the postcode starts with "AB or G". How do I do that? |

Try this formula: =IF(OR(EXACT(LEFT(J1,1),"B"),EXACT(LEFT(J1,2),"CV" ), EXACT(LEFT(J1,1),"W")),"Westmidlands",IF(OR(EXACT( LEFT(J1,2),"AB"), EXACT(LEFT(J1,1),"G")),"Scotland","not specified what to say")) Hope this helps / Lars-Åke |
