Default Using search function to classify data

Dear Helpers,

Via e-banking service, I have extracted my current account data to control
my business. From the data, I use the following formula to classify the
payment types based on the transaction description.

=IF(OR((ISNUMBER(SEARCH("AAW",C5697))),(ISNUMBER(S EARCH("ABT",C5697)))),VALUE(RIGHT(C5697,7)),IF(ISN UMBER(SEARCH("Rental",C5697)),RIGHT(C5697,8),IF(OR ((ISNUMBER(SEARCH("ABC",C5697))),(ISNUMBER(SEARCH( "ABB",C5697))),(ISNUMBER(SEARCH("AAC",C5697))),(IS NUMBER(SEARCH("CH",C5697))),(ISNUMBER(SEARCH("TAX" ,C5697))),(ISNUMBER(SEARCH("GD",C5697)))),"EXPENSE ",IF(OR(ISNUMBER(SEARCH("CASH",C5697)),ISNUMBER(SE ARCH("-",C5697))),"DEPOSIT",IF(OR((ISNUMBER(SEARCH("12345 67",C5697))),(ISNUMBER(SEARCH("23456789",C5697))), (ISNUMBER(C5697))),C5697,"TRANSFER")))))

As the description changes from time to time according the bank's operation
and the "nested If" problem, I am looking for any solution to use "search"
function like vlookup a listing.

Thanks in advance your kind assistance.

Fanny
