If, Contains
Hello,
I have a column which contains names of Cities... eg: cell a1= Tokyo, Hong Kong, New York cell a2= London, Amsterdam, berlin cell a3= London, Tokyo, New York, Madrid is there a formula that will be able to pull out Tokyo I was thinking of an IF statement: =IF(cell contains "Tokyo", "Tokyo", " ") not sure how to go forward without going down the filtering route as it's a huge spreadsheet and time is quite critical in reporting season. many thanks |

=AND(FIND("Tokyo",A1))
The result will be TRUE if Tokyo is in the cell edvwvw Tracey wrote: Hello, I have a column which contains names of Cities... eg: cell a1= Tokyo, Hong Kong, New York cell a2= London, Amsterdam, berlin cell a3= London, Tokyo, New York, Madrid is there a formula that will be able to pull out Tokyo I was thinking of an IF statement: =IF(cell contains "Tokyo", "Tokyo", " ") not sure how to go forward without going down the filtering route as it's a huge spreadsheet and time is quite critical in reporting season. many thanks -- Message posted via http://www.officekb.com |
