Hi!
I'm trying to return the value from a specific cell. So, if the ranges C2-C60000 contains "SUM:" then i need the value from the adjacent cell.
Example:
C50 contains the text "Sum:" then i need the value from D60 to be retrieved.

C50 & D60????
=IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH("Sum:",C2)),D2,"")
copied down. You may need ; instead of ,

Temporary addition of accented to illustrate ongoing problem to the TT: L? fh?ile P?draig sona dhaoibh
try:
=IFERROR(IF(SEARCH("Sum:",C50),D60,""),"")

Hi! Thanks for a quick answer guys.
The case here is that the cell containing "Sum:" can be any cell betwen C2-C6000
Now you have confused me... How does this NOT do what you want?
Will you please attach a SMALL sample Excel workbook (10-20 rows of data is usually enough)? However, please give us an indication of the approximate number of rows of data you want the solution to work with (100, 1000, 100,000 or whatever). Please don't attach a picture of an Excel sheet (no-one will want to re-type all your stuff before starting).
1. It does NOT have to be your real sheet - mock up a SAMPLE if you need to. But not 1000's of rows!!! It makes manual checking so tedious. Whatever you do... make sure that all confidential information is removed first!!
2. Make sure that your sample data are truly REPRESENTATIVE of your real data. The use of unrepresentative data is very frustrating and can lead to long delays in reaching a solution.
3. Make sure that your desired solution is also shown (mock up the results manually).
4. Try to avoid using merged cells. 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.
Or... is this what you want???
Hello Eivindsu. Welcome to the forum.
I'm confused on how to interpret this as well.
Perhaps an upload would clarify and expedite solution. It usually does.
