=IF logical test to search only part of a cell
I am trying to get the =IF function to test only part of a cell as the
logical test. I am trying to create an Invoice template for online sales. I will only be charging sales tax for Texas residents. I need the tax formula to only calculate tax if the state is Texas. I do not want to separate the City, State and Zip as they are currently a single cell. For instance, F4 Houston, Texas 77003 F27 =SUM(F18:F26) F28 8.25 [Format-Percentage] F29 =F27*F28 For F29, I have tried =IF(F4="*Texas*", F27*F28, 0) but got no results. Can I make the formula work to look for Texas only? Or is there a better way to go about this? |

If the format of F4 will always be, "CityName, Texas Zipcode",
then.........this formula should work in F29. =IF(MID(F4,FIND(",",F4,1)+2,5)="Texas",F27*F28,0) Vaya con Dios, Chuck, CABGx3 "Robbie in Houston" wrote in message ...

Hi!
Another method that's a little more robust: =IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH("texas",F4)),F27*F28,0) Biff -----Original Message----- I am trying to get the =IF function to test only part of a cell as the logical test.
