    Creating a formula that will return a text result if it finds part of that phrase

    Hi All,

    Thanks in advance for your help! I've been looking around and can only "almost" find an answer to this.

    I have a Column that contains Analytics data and I want to put another table next to it to simplify that data:

    "google / cpc" = PPC
    "google / direct" = Direct
    "google / organic" = Organic

    These bits I can sort, however the final section is wild:

    "[name of referrer] / referral" = Referral

    I'm just looking for one, nice, clean column that will look at the first column and see the relevant part of text and deliver the short response.

    cheers,

    Myles

    Sure - In one column it currently says google / cpc and I want to create a column next to it where it will just say PPC

    Hope that makes sense?

    Still not clear how you are getting PPC

    "google / cpc" = PPC
