Conditional Formatting to display text in one cell according to whattext is displayed in another...Please Help
I need to make an excel cell find a value in another cell and if the value is there display a specific word in the selected cell, so basically the text in a1 is either 'a' or 'b' or maybe that value isn't there. So in b1 I need a formula to search a1 for text 'a' or 'b' and if it finds 'a' it displays 'Apple', if it finds 'b' then it displays 'banana' and if it finds neither of those values then it displays 'error'
Please Help Me!! |

Cheers Claus! Appreciate it!!
What about if I want it to search for the word 'apples' but there was for instance "apples and pairs" text in the cell, it doesn't search within that specific phrase? |

Hi CLaus,
But I still need it to search the words *apples* and *bananas* and if neither word is displayed display error, how would I string to search multiple words and if none of them words are displayed then *error is displayed? |

I found a formula that works; =IF(COUNT(SEARCH({"Apples","Bananas","Carrots"},C1 )),"Fruit","error") Thank you for your help though! |
