Hi,
I have the following items in COL_A: COL_A ------- Mike B GX270 Notebook X LunchRoom New Printer John VPN Spare Laptop Susan WS What I'd like to do, is to set COL_B to "TRUE" when COL_A contains: "notebook" or "VPN" or "Laptop", in a non case-sensitive context. The result should look like this: COL_A COL_B ------- ------- Mike B FALSE GX270 FALSE Notebook X TRUE LunchRoom FALSE New Printer FALSE John VPN TRUE Spare Laptop TRUE Susan WS FALSE I've been trying a VLOOKUP() function but it doesn't work as expected. The MATCH() funciton works but makes a very complicated formula and I'll have to add exceptions to my list so, putting "Laptop", "VPN", "notebook" and so on in a seperate worksheet makes sense. Thanks for your suggestions. |
