how to distinguish between text cells?
I have four cells with the following texts
A1= abcdef A2= abcdef A3= xyzdef A4= xyzdef now I want to have an If formula in B1 that can disginguish if the cell A1 is starting with abc or xyz or something else ( and the same at B2 for A2 and so on) So basically I need a formula that can just read the beginning characters of text in a cell. I think the formula in B1 should be like if( the beginnig 3 charecters of A1=abc,True,False). I dont want to divide the text in the cells. Is that possible? Thanks |
