Finding specific text in one cell and returning data from another
This seems like it should be easy but I can't seem to figure it out. I need
to look in one cell to see if it includes a certain word. If it does I need to return the value from the cell next to it. For example: Cell A1= JV meetings Cell B1=2.5 Cell A2+ conference on JV Cell B2=1.25 I need to find a formula that says if A1 "includes" the text "JV" then return the value for B1 Thanks in advance! |

Case sensitive
=IF(ISNUMBER(FIND("JV",A1)),B1,FALSE) Non-case sensitive =IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH("JV",A1)),B1,FALSE) -- Best Regards, Luke M *Remember to click "yes" if this post helped you!* "Klee" wrote: This seems like it should be easy but I can't seem to figure it out.

Try
=IF(ISERROR(SEARCH("jv",A1)),"",B1) To make it case sensitive use find instead of search Mike "Klee" wrote: This seems like it should be easy but I can't seem to figure it out.

Try this:

I apologize for the multi-repost. Server was being goofy.
