I need a formula to lookup text in a cell & return a set result in another cell.
So if D2 contains the abbreviation "BA", F2 would say BA, if D2 contains the abbreviation "MA", F2 would say MA.
Any help would be appreciated.

try
=IF(COUNTIF(D2,"*BA*"),"BA",IF(COUNTIF(D2,"*MA*"),"MA",""))
you could use a MATCH
And various other ways to solve, but this is how i would solve

That worked perfectly. Thank you so much for your help! I'll mark the post as solved.
Hi there and welcome. Try this formula in F2: =IF(ISERROR(FIND("BA",D2)),IF(ISERROR(FIND("MA",D2)),"","MA"),"BA")
