    If cell contains a specific text then returns a text to specific cell

    I want to search for a specific text within a specific roll, and if it's found, then it would return a specific text to a specific cell.

    To say, I want to return the word "Good job" to B1 if there is the word "Office" in A1 repeatedly all the way down to the 4th row, and the formula must be contained in C1 or D1

    Because I want to return something else for the word "Home" reasonably

    A B C D
    1 Office Good job
    2 Office Good job
    3 Home
    4 Office Good job

    Thanks :)

    Hi, welcome to the forum

    If you only have a few options to choose from (say, 4 at most), you could use something like this...
    =if(A1="Office","good job",if(A1="Home","blah", if(A1="cat","Dog"."")))

    If, on the other hand, you have many options, it would probably be better to use VLOOKUP
    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

    Thank you for the reply! Your ans is very helpful. But I'm a newbie here, and I have a very specific condition that the formula must be contained in the column C or D. Do you kindly have another advice please?
