match a word in a cell and copy anoher cell in the same row
Hi - sorry another question from me today!
Is there a formula or way to achieve the following please I want to search through a column (say column B) containing both words and numbers to see if any cell in that column contains a specific word if it does I want the corresponding cell in column A (same row) to copy into a thirds column. Hope this makes sense -- Thanks Lise |
