Vlookup Help!!
I am trying to create a column that reads from a cell with a long
string of text. For example: PPC: Intro to World Studies 2003 TRP Assembly. I've tried using if statements and vlookups to extract "TRP" from the sentence, I did this using: =if(isna(match("*TRP*",F2,0),"Medium","Other"). How can I create a fromula that allows me to use multiple conditions? For example, if the cell contains "Cat", "Dog", "Bird," = animal? Thanks |

One way:
=IF(SUM(COUNTIF(F2,{"*cat*","*dog*","*bird*"}))=0, "Medium","Other") or =IF(SUM(COUNTIF(F2,"*"&{"cat","dog","bird"}&"*"))= 0,"Medium","Other") wrote: I am trying to create a column that reads from a cell with a long string of text.
