    More than one value in MID formule

    So this is my formula:
    +IF(MID(B9;{3;8};4)="A00B";$B$68)

    What I want to do:
    - If start from the third caracter and the 4 caracters after it are equal to "A00B", I want it to count the cell B68
    - If start from the eight caracter and the 4 caracters after it are equal to "A00B", I want it to count the cell B68

    I know I can make two different formulas but I want to keep it in one since I will have to use a lot.

    Thanks in advance,

    Thanks for your reply, I've tested it and it seems like it wont work.

    There should be a way to work with these: { and }, but I don't know how. My complete fomula is now way too long and I want to make it shorter.

    Re: More than one value in MID formule

    you could also try
    =IF(OR(MID(B9;{3;8};4)="A00B");$B$68;"")

    Re: More than one value in MID formule

    it won't work? in what way won't it work? (I found a missing ")" and edited the formula at some point... try again?)

    if it still doesn't work then can you describe the problem or upload a sample so I have something to test against?

    as for creating the array in the middle of the mid() formula... I've tried to do something like that once or twice and been totally unsuccessful... what is "way too long"? is can you show us the rest of the formula and maybe we can come up w/ other ways to make it more efficient?

    Re: More than one value in MID formule

    Ok, I'll try to explain:

    I have to make the price goes automatic with these codes:
    CFA00BVP02BVP, as you can see when you start from the third caracter and the 4 after are equel to "A00B" than it should calculate a price which in mention in another cel. But I have lots of these as you can see below, and I want it to make it shorter because now I use this (for example):
    +IF(MID(B9;3;4)="A00B";$B$68)+IF(MID(B9;8;4)="A00B";$B$68). But I want to make it in 1 code only.

    This is the complete formula:
    +IF(MID(B9;1;1)="R";$H$90)+IF(MID(B9;1;1)="Z";$H$76)+IF(MID(B9;3;4)="A00B";$B$68)+IF(MID(B9;8;4)="A00B";$B$68)+IF(MID(B9;3;1)="P";IF(MID(B9;6;1)="E";IF(OR(MID(B9;4;2)={"09";"02";"01"});$B$70;$B$71)))+IF(MID(B9;8;1)="P";IF(MID(B9;11;1)="E";IF(OR(MID(B9;9;2)={"09";"02";"01"});$B$70;$B$71)))+IF(MID(B9;3;1)="P";IF(MID(B9;6;1)="B";IF(OR(MID(B9;4;2)={"09";"02";"01"});0;$B$69)))+IF(MID(B9;8;1)="P";IF(MID(B9;11;1)="B";IF(OR(MID(B9;9;2)={"09";"02";"01"});0;$B$69)))+IF(MID(B9;3;1)="P";IF(MID(B9;6;1)="H";IF(MID(B9;4;2)="02";$B$72;$B$73)))+IF(MID(B9;8;1)="P";IF(MID(B9;11;1)="H";IF(MID(B9;9;2)="02";$B$72;$B$73)))+IF(MID(B9;3;1)="Q";IF(MID(B9;6;1)="B";IF(OR(MID(B9;4;2)={"09";"02"});$B$74)))+IF(MID(B9;8;1)="Q";IF(MID(B9;11;1)="B";IF(OR(MID(B9;9;2)={"09";"02"});$B$74)))+IF(MID(B9;3;1)="Q";IF(MID(B9;6;1)="E";IF(OR(MID(B9;4;2)={"09";"02"});$B$75)))+IF(MID(B9;8;1)="Q";IF(MID(B9;11;1)="E";IF(OR(MID(B9;9;2)={"09";"02"});$B$75)))+IF(MID(B9;3;1)="K";IF(MID(B9;6;1)="B";IF(OR(MID(B9;4;2)={"09";"02"});$B$76)))+IF(MID(B9;8;1)="K";IF(MID(B9;11;1)="B";IF(OR(MID(B9;9;2)={"09";"02"});$B$76)))+IF(MID(B9;3;1)="K";IF(MID(B9;6;1)="H";IF(OR(MID(B9;4;2)={"09";"02"});$B$77)))+IF(MID(B9;8;1)="K";IF(MID(B9;11;1)="H";IF(OR(MID(B9;9;2)={"09";"02"});$B$77)))+IF(MID(B9;3;1)="N";IF(MID(B9;6;1)="B";IF(MID(B9;4;2)="09";$B$78;$B$79)))+IF(MID(B9;8;1)="N";IF(MID(B9;11;1)="B";IF(MID(B9;9;2)="09";$B$78;$B$79)))+IF(MID(B9;3;1)="N";IF(MID(B9;6;1)="E";IF(MID(B9;4;2)="09";$B$80;$B$81)))+IF(MID(B9;8;1)="N";IF(MID(B9;11;1)="E";IF(MID(B9;9;2)="09";$B$80;$B$81)))+IF(MID(B9;3;1)="M";IF(MID(B9;6;1)="E";IF(MID(B9;4;2)="09";$B$82;$B$83)))+IF(MID(B9;8;1)="M";IF(MID(B9;11;1)="E";IF(MID(B9;9;2)="09";$B$82;$B$83)))+IF(MID(B9;3;1)="D";IF(MID(B9;6;1)="E";$B$84))+IF(MID(B9;8;1)="D";IF(MID(B9;11;1)="E";$B$84))+IF(MID(B9;3;1)="4";IF(MID(B9;6;1)="B";IF(MID(B9;4;2)="09";$B$85)))+IF(MID(B9;8;1)="4";IF(MID(B9;11;1)="B";IF(MID(B9;9;2)="09";$B$85)))+IF(MID(B9;3;1)="4";IF(MID(B9;6;1)="E";IF(MID(B9;4;2)="09";$B$86)))+IF(MID(B9;8;1)="4";IF(MID(B9;11;1)="E";IF(MID(B9;9;2)="09";$B$86)))+IF(MID(B9;3;4)="B005";$B$87)+IF(MID(B9;3;4)="B006";$B$88)+IF(MID(B9;3;4)="L005";$B$89)+IF(MID(B9;3;4)="L006";$B$90)+IF(MID(B9;3;4)="I005";$B$91)+IF(MID(B9;3;4)="I006";$B$92)+IF(MID(B9;3;4)="I003";$B$93)+IF(MID(B9;8;4)="B005";$B$87)+IF(MID(B9;8;4)="B006";$B$88)+IF(MID(B9;8;4)="L005";$B$89)+IF(MID(B9;8;4)="L006";$B$90)+IF(MID(B9;8;4)="I005";$B$91)+IF(MID(B9;8;4)="I006";$B$92)+IF(MID(B9;8;4)="I003";$B$93)+IF(MID(B9;8;4)="D095";$B$94)+IF(MID(B9;3;4)="D095";$B$94)+IF(MID(B9;8;4)="Z095";$B$95)+IF(MID(B9;3;4)="Z095";$B$95)+IF(MID(B9;8;4)="P021";$B$96)+IF(MID(B9;3;4)="P021";$B$96)+IF(MID(B9;7;1)="A";$B$97)

    Re: More than one value in MID formule

    Perhaps
    =IF(ISNUMBER(FIND("A00B";B9));$B$68;"")

    Though this doesn't rely on it appearing at the 3rd or 8th position of the string.
    It just looks if it exists anywhere in the string.

    Too bad, I've tried Martins code and it doesn't work either, I don't know what the problem could be.

    Re: More than one value in MID formule

    The code of Martin worked but not together:
    - If I change the 3rd caracter it's good
    - If I change the 8th caracter it's good
    - But when the 3rd and the 8th are changed it only works for one and it should count both

    EDIT: Ok, as you can see:
    prnts.jpg

    The start price is 39,51€ (G76), and when it's two times "A00B" it should be 38,39€ (A68 = 39,51 - 2x0,56€) but it's only 38,95€ which is 39,51€-0,56€.

    Re: More than one value in MID formule

    =sumproduct(--(mid(b9,{3;8},4)="a00b"))*b68
    take
    xxA00BXA00Bxxxxxx
    =sumproduct(--(mid(xxA00BXA00Bxxxxxx,{3;8},4)="a00b"))*b68
    =sumproduct(--("a00b","a00b"}="a00b"))*b68
    =sumproduct(--({TRUE;TRUE}))*b68
    =sumproduct(--{TRUE;TRUE})*b68

    --{TRUE,TRUE} = {1;1}
    SUMPRODUCT adds those together to =2
    so 2*B68
    if it was
    say
    xxx00BXA00Bxxxxxx
    you'd end up with --{FALSE,TRUE} = {0;1}
    i.e 1*B68

    and
    xxx00BXx00Bxxxxxx
    you'd end up with --{FALSE,FALSE} = {0;0}
    I.E 0*B68
