Looks like you always want the third and fourth letters, so use this:

If your problem is solved, please go to 'Thread Tools' above your first post and 'Mark this Thread as Solved'.
If you use commas as your decimal separator (1,23 instead of 1.23) then please replace commas with semi-colons in your formulae.
You don't need to give me rep if I helped, but a thank-you is nice.
Hi All,
@JohnSamson how many combinations of letters do you have to look up? If you have to spot only a couple of combinations of letters
=IF(COUNTIF(A1,"*TL*"),"TL",IF(COUNTIF(A1,"*XF*"),"XF",""))
You could combine IF and SEARCH
=IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH("TL",A1)),"TL",IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH("XF",A1)),"XF",""))
If you would work with a much longer list of combination to extract, better to use other formulas.
