if second choice is present in B12 the value is will be data in E2
if third choice is present in B12 the value is will be data in E3
Try this:
=IF(SEARCH("Present At start",B12), E1,IF(SEARCH("Present At start & End",B12),E2,IF(SEARCH("Present At End",B12),E3,"")))
there is no difference between case Present At start , Present At start & End its give the same choice
i think its because & symbol
You aren't giving enough detail.
Will you please attach a sample Excel workbook?
1. Make sure that your sample data are REPRESENTATIVE of your real data. The use of unrepresentative data is very frustrating and can lead to long delays in reaching a solution.
2. Make sure that your desired solution is also shown (mock up the results manually).
3. Make sure that all confidential data is removed or replaced with dummy data first (e.g. names, addresses, E-mails, etc.).
4. Try to avoid using merged cells as they cause lots of problems.
Unfortunately the attachment icon doesn't work at the moment, so to attach an Excel file you have to do the following: just before posting, scroll down to Go Advanced and then scroll down to Manage Attachments. Now follow the instructions at the top of that screen.
Please pay particular attention to point 2 (above): without an idea of your intended outcomes, it is often very difficult to offer appropriate advice.
please see my attached example
It will not work because
"Present At start" is found in conditions 1 and 2: you need to change condition 2 to "Both Present" or similar.
=IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH("Present At start",B12)), E1,IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH("Both Present",B12)),E2,IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH("Present At End",B12)),E3,"")))
Alternative ..
=IF(EXACT(UPPER("Present at Start"),UPPER(B12)),E1,IF(EXACT(UPPER("Present At Start & End"),UPPER(B12)),E2,IF(EXACT(UPPER("Present At End"),UPPER(B12)),E3,"")))
You can remove the UPPER if the selection is via drop-down BUT ensure text in formula matches the drop down values.
Just a trick :
PHP Code:B15=INDEX(F1:F3;MATCH(LEN(B12);{16;22;14};0))
Brilliant, Ketxu ... except for one small thing:
What happens if B12 contains this?
"Does this match?"
thanks dear Johntopley
its work good with my spreadsheet
thank you dear AliGW and Ketux for your help
best regards
So, this is just funny, not general solution / catching error ^^
