Sorry to be a pain, as i already posted today. But as i knew the other formulas, thought it would be ok. Thought i could use 3 different formulas in the one cell. I need to pick up ONLY the first digit. Every formula ive tried from google to use multiple numbers etc just isnt working.
Any code in the cell that starts with a 4 or 6 needs to read RAIL, the rest to read ROAD. I can only pick up the number 4, not the number 6.
Current formula =IF(B2="","",IF(LEFT(B2)="4","RAIL","ROAD"))
Try this:
=IF(B2="","",IF(OR(LEFT(B2)="4",LEFT(B2)="6"),"RAIL","ROAD"))

thankyou heaps. it works. looking at that, i was putting if(left) for both formulas, or forgetting the 2nd LEFT when i did the OR function.
