In a worksheet I have two types of account numbers. One having eleven digits
and other having less than elelven digits. I have to insert a function to
get "CBS" in the next cell right to the account number having eleven digits
and "BOS" against the other account numbers. Please help me as I am an
intermediate in this works

Account number is in column A
b1=if(len(a1)=11,"CBS","BOS")
Change the cell range accordingly
Best wishes

Well, I see now that they are simple strings.

What are CBS and BOS and what are the rules to generate them. It's not
obvious for everybody?

....and what is the format of account numbers?
if it's a straight number then maybe the following would suit better:
b1=if(and(isnumber(a1),len(a1)=11),"CBS","BOS")
