I'll rephrase this and you tell me whether I said it right: Somewhere in an
Excel workbook you have a cell that contains either of these two text strings. You want some way of detecting whether the text string says "Supply & Fit" or "Supply Only", and pulls a value from either of two cells (you made them both A1 in your example but I suppose you mean two DIFFERENT cells) depending on that distinction. And you warn us that the place where you put asterists could be a number of different text values, not all of the same length -- that is, the text could read "We have pleasure in submitting our quotation for a Supply & Fit in a low and high Wind Zone as per NZS 3604 as below:" or "We have pleasure in submitting our quotation for a Supply & Fit in a medium Wind Zone as per NZS 3604 as below:". Right? If so, the length of the wind-zone type doesn't matter; the very simplest way to do it, it seems to me, is to look at the 59th character in that sentence; if it's "&" then it's "Supply & Fit", and if it's "O" then it's "Supply Only". One way of doing that would be a formula saying =IF(MID(D4,59,1)="&",A1,A2). This says "if the 59th character of D4 is "&", plus A1 in here; otherwise plug A2 in here". Will that do? --- "Jeffrey" wrote: I have two sentence, see below: and I would like to reflect respective dollar value for these statements. If the sentence has "supply & fit" then it will reflect a supply and price in cell A1 for example. of if the sentece has "supply only" then it will reflect the supply only price in cell A1. Noticed that ***** varies (it could be low, medium, low and medium, high, very high). Sentence 1 We have pleasure in submitting our quotation for a Supply & Fit in a ***** Wind Zone as per NZS 3604 as below: Sentence 2 We have pleasure in submitting our quotation for a Supply Only in a ***** Wind Zone as per NZS 3604 as below: |
