i'm missing something
im trying to simplify my personal bookkeeping. i import my data from
the bank as a .csv and want to transfer it to a second sheet without all the jibberish. its set up with a vlookup etc. but what i can't figure out is say my entry from shopping at wal-mart has POS PURCHASE - WAL-MART #0822 WAL-MART but i want to transfer it and say WAL-MART i tried if(a1="*WAL-MART*","Wal-Mart",0) as a test but i guess it didn't like the wildcards.. also what would be the best way to convert multiple entries, example if i went to home depot, not wal-mart. would using or with if be the best solution? thanks in advance, jeff |

One way:
Make a list of your frequent transaction parties. As an example: Wal-mart Costco Allstate Dennys Albertsons Mervyns Then, your imported data may look like this: DENNYS #6739 SOUTH JORDAN UT Date 11/14/06 MERVYNS 00002949 SANDY UT Date 11/14/06 BURLINGTON COA00000794 MURRAY UT Date 11/14/06 JCPENNEY STORE 0231 SANDY UT Date 11/14/06 POS ALBERTSONS 370 E. 200 S. SALT LAKE CIT UT POS COSTCO #00487 11100 S. AUTO MALL BLOCKBUSTER VIDEO #49057 DRAPER UT Date 10/17/06 REAMS FOOD STR.INC. SANDY UT Date 10/18/06 assume the above data is in the range A2:A9 The list of frequent transaction parties is in J2:J8 Enter this formula in B2 to extract the transaction party: =LOOKUP(2,1/(ISNUMBER(SEARCH(J$2:J$8,A2))),J$2:J$8) Copy down as needed.

is the lookup_value 2? sorry i'm a newbie here but last year i used excel just to enter info into the cells, and didn't know what functions were. thanks On Feb 12, 8:54 pm, "T.

Hmmm....
Based on the sample I posted a result of 0 is impossible! The formula will return either the name of the party (if found) or #N/A (meaning no match was found in the party list) Hard to tell why you got that result without knowing any of the details. Want me to post a sample file that demonstrates this?

Are you adjusting the references properly to match your layout?
That's about the only thing I can think of that would cause a return of 0. Biff wrote in message ups.com... On Feb 15, 4:44 pm, "T.
