Using text instead of number. e.g. If(E10=C,1,0)
 

Hello
I wish to have a column for texts, either 'C','S' or 'E' and combinations of
CSE

such as @IF(E10=C,1,0) and @IF(E10=CS,2,0) and IF(E10=CSE,3,0)

I want to put the text CSE in Column D and the formula in Column G.

Hope you can help and that this makes sence?

How do I do this.

Thanks

John

From your example it seem the text is in D not E
How about =LEN(E10) ?

=IF(E10="C",1,IF(E10="CS",2,IF(E10="CSE",3,"result unspecified")))

enter in G10.......=if(D10="C",1,if(D10="CS",2,if(d10="CSE" ,3,"")))

or you could keep it simple and enter in G10 ... =len(d10)

I don't think you posted ALL of the rules....but here are a couple guesses at
what you might want.

If D1 *may* contain C,S,E or a combination of those (in single occurrences)
Then....maybe this:
G1: =SUM(COUNTIF(D1,"*"&{"C","S","E"}&"*"))

However, if D1 will ONLY contain C,S,E or a combination of those (in single
occurrences)
Then....maybe this:
G1: =LEN(D1)

If there are more rules, though, please post them.

Does that help?
