In the attached sample I'm trying to return values based on multiple IF functions but I need a wild card feature that doesn't exist. In plain language I'm trying to get the following:
IF(C3="TCF*,"TCF",IF(B3=1* or 2* or 3* or 4*,"FS","PS"))
I'm not sure if I need a CountIF or a Match?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Please take a moment to re-read forum rule #1 and then amend your thread title to something that better explains your problem. Changing your thread title is not optional, which means you must change it. Thanks!
- Use concise, accurate thread titles.
- Your post title should describe your problem, not your anticipated solution.
- Use terms appropriate to a Google search - poor thread titles, like Please Help, Urgent, Need Help, Formula Problem, Code Problem, and Need Advice tell us nothing.
- Responding to a request to change your thread title by doing so is mandatory.
To change a title go to your first post, click EDIT then Go Advanced and change your title.
No help to be offered, please, until the OP complies with this request.
I have a solution for you - just need you to update the title, please.

Try this in A3:
=IF(COUNTIF(C3,"TCF*"),"TCF",IF(OR(LEFT(B3)={"1","2","3","4"}),"FS","PS"))
Does this get you closer to what you want?
=IF(C3="TCF*","TCF",IF(--LEFT(B3,1)<4,"FS","PS"))
or this:
=IF(LEFT(C3,3)="TCF","TCF",IF(OR(LEFT(B3,1)+0={1,2,3,4}),"FS","PS"))

None of us get paid for helping you... we do this for fun. So DON'T FORGET to say "Thank You" to all who have freely given some of their time to help YOU.

I shortened your formula to this...
=IF(C3="TCF*","TCF",IF(OR(B3="1",B3="2*",B3="3*"),"FS","PS"))
But I dont understand what the problem is? Can you explain why this isnt working for you?
1. Use code tags for VBA. [code] Your Code [/code] (or use the # button)
2. If your question is resolved, mark it SOLVED using the thread tools
3. Click on the star if you think someone helped you

I took elements from both and finished with this
=IF(OR(LEFT(C3)={"T"}),"TCF",IF(OR(LEFT(B3)={"1","2","3","4"}),"FS",IF(OR(LEFT(B3)={"Q","G"}),"TCF","PS"))
Thank you both.

Which both of the three of us are you thanking? The two boys, I guess.
Glad to have helped (I think)!
Is If condition works with wild card?
I think If condition will not work with wild card

Thanks for the rep! Glad we could help.
Note that you can shorten your formula from post #7 to this:
=IF(OR(LEFT(C3)="T",LEFT(B3)={"Q","G"}),"TCF",IF(OR(LEFT(B3)={"1","2","3","4"}),"FS","PS"))
Curious, is Sick Stigma a play on words for Six Sigma?

Happy to help and thanks for the feedback
