Can't find logical_test for "if"statement
I have two possible entries in column A:
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg.../-/0934419345/ or http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0439784549/ My objective is to place the last set of numbers in a cell in Column B- for entry one I can use =MID(A2,FIND("detail/-/",A2)+9,10) and for entry 2 I can use =MID(A4,FIND("ASIN",A4)+5,10) and it works just fine. I would like to have a formula that tests to see if "detail/-/" is present or if "ASIN is present in Column A and then apply the appropriate "MID" function. Can't seem to design the appropriate logical_test to get a true or false return so I can use an "if" statement. Any suggestions welcomed - John |
=IF(ISNUMBER(FIND("detail/-/",A2)),your_mid_formula,"")
I used blank as in "", replace that with whatever you want when the condition is not TRUE -- Regards, Peo Sjoblom (No private emails please, for everyone's benefit keep the discussion in the newsgroup/forum) "John Grossman" wrote in message ...
