I can't get it to work, but maybe it was my fault, in pasting a slightly
different formula.
This is the one that works well
=IF(ISERROR(FIND("(FLM)",MasterTab!21)),"",MAX(A$1 :A1)+1)
for FLM, but still need it for FLM FL & M
Question array. Are those brackets denoting an array ? Do I enter those,
and then SHIFT-CTRL [E], or are they automatically entered ?

Thanks again,

Steve

Hi Steve

Try

=IF(COUNT(FIND({"FLM","FL","M"},MasterTab!O21)),MA X(A$1:A1)+1,"")

I have this formula.

=IF(ISERROR(FIND("Relief",MasterTab!O21)),"",MAX(A $1:A1)+1)

can it be modified to find three different things instead of "relief". I'd
like it to find: (FLM) (FL) and (M) ?

Much thanks,

Steve
