If extension of a path in a cell is .pdf then
Hello
Was wondering how to go about this. I have a bunch of file paths all in column E. I wanted to generate either "External" or "Internal" into column F depending on whether the file extension is .pdf or .html. Any ideas? |

The reason it returns the same value is because you modified it incorrectly. Since you are starting in the second row, put this in F2 and copy it down... =IF(RIGHT(E2,3)="pdf","External",IF(RIGHT(E2,4)="h tml","Internal","Neither HTML nor PDF")) And for future reference, the above is called a formula, not a function (things like IF and RIGHT are called functions).

Rick- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - Yea for some reason after I copy it it still doesn't change for me. The first one in row 2 is internal, and when I copy it they all just still say internal when some should be external. |

The formula I posted does work correctly here on my system. Try selecting
Column F and hitting the Delete button (better might be Edit/Clear/All) to clear the cells in the column, then paste the last formula I posted back into F2 again and try copying it down to see if that works for you.

I even created a new xls spreadsheet and entered .pdf's and .html's but it always remains the same for me when I drag the copy over the cells. |
