IF cell contains certain text return value
I tried using this wild card in a sumproduct, but it isnt working.
My forumula is: =sumproduct(((E:E=$D9)*(B:B="*CPB*")) Do I need to do something differently for sumproducts? Thanks, "Jacob Skaria" wrote: If this is one cell try =IF(COUNTIF(A1,"*check*"),"Checking","Doing") Since you mentioned row...try the below as well It checks for these words in Cols A to J for the first row. Copy down as required. =IF(COUNTIF(A1:J1,"*check*"),"Checking","Doing") If this post helps click Yes --------------- Jacob Skaria "Eán" wrote: I have a row containing various text including the words 'Check' & 'Checking'; in a separate row I would like to identify all the cells which include 'Check' or 'Checking' and return the text "Checking" if it contains either 'Check' or 'Checking' or "Doing" if it doesn't. Hope this makes sense? Many thanks |

[Sorry about the bogus first posting. Fat fingers, I guess.]

I know that E:E and B:B do not work in Excel 2003. I don't know about Excel 2007. Anyway, you cannot use wildcards in simple comparisons. You can use SEARCH or FIND. Use FIND if you want the comparison to be case-sensitive. =sumproduct( (E1:E100=$D9) * (iserror( find("CPB",B1:B100) )=false) ) ----- original message ----- "Go Bucks!!!" wrote in message ...

IF cell contains certain text return value
Hi Joe. I am using 2007.
I am still having trouble. I get the #VALUE! error. I tried changing the formula to $B5:$B600. I tried find and search. That didnt help. Perhaps its because of my data? Here is what I have... My formula is... =find("BNY", B5:B600) Data example is... Samsung - CPB BNY Dedicated Samsung - Dispatch 1st year Hardware - 3rd Party Goldman - Consumables zzzGoldman-Dedicated The data is not consistent, so I cannot go by the number of spaces as with LEFT(). I am looking for the word "Dedicated" somewhere in the string. Thanks Joe... "JoeU2004" wrote: [Sorry about the bogus first posting.

Correction: I said I was looking for "Dedicated", but I have "BNY" in my
formula. My error. Of course, the problem persists if you have dedicated in the formula. "Go Bucks!!!" wrote: Hi Joe. I am using 2007. I am still having trouble. I get the #VALUE! error.

Joe, I got it to work. I am not sure what I was doing wrong. Its a long formula, so I just missed something somewhere. Thanks, "JoeU2004" wrote: [Sorry about the bogus first posting.
