Formula For Labeling Part Numbers
Column A of my spreadsheet has a bunch of part numbers. I would like
to create a formula in Column B such that my parts are either labeled "American" or "Metric". Parts that are to be labeled "American", have one (or more than one) strings within their part number: PT<space<space TF<space<space <spaceNPTF <spaceNPS <spaceDOT<space <spaceUNF <spaceNPT <spaceNFPA If none of the above strings are within a part number, then the part is to be labeled "Metric". Can somebody please help me in creating the desired formula? Thanks. -- Tiziano |

Create a table with your strings including the spaces.
