HELP! How to put an IF formula with "starts with" instead of bigger than or equal to
Hi,
I have the following data (x200 with all a different information that I want to have an IF formula in the colomn next to the specific data when if there is for instance for the line that says .MADZBIB that I want only Excel to take the MID(cell;2ndletter till the 7nd letter) but ONLY if the line starts with a dot (.) and for the ones that do not start with a dot I want to Excel to do nothing. After that I want Excel to place the first 7 digits after the dot in the cell. The input: Message is displayed from SITA archiv: 6353636 08.11.2006 01:05:23 QD HAMBI7X ..MADZBIB 072349 NOV06/AGNT9999/PID43007 #CAM S1BOOKED/IBM/D4296/USD/1/ 441/48011057301/D5331034701200/1/EA/2790.00/08116/MFR FAPE3/PRI AOG/ ACN 1027/PKG 0/VRN ESA28017648 =(IF(".";"MID(cell;2;7))")) does not work obviousbly because the line only starts with a dot. How do I put this in the IF formula? That instead of bigger than or smaller than or =, one for it starts with........ Who knows???? I can not seem to figure it out and it has been taking up a lot of my time to get it right... I really hope someone can help me! |
