    Nested IF statements to FIND text string and return set values.

    Looking for help with trying to find a no of key words in a cell and return the key word if found.

    =IF(ISERROR(FIND("Half Moon Bay",A1,1)),"Half Moon Bay",IF(ISERROR(FIND("Hornby",A1,1)),"Hornby","")) and so on and so on

    Thought the above might have worked but allas my heads done in with a hot stuffy office...

    Try this
    =IF(IFERROR(FIND("Half Moon Bay",A7,1),FALSE),"Half Moon Bay",IF(IFERROR(FIND("Hornby",A7,1),FALSE),"Hornby",IF(IFERROR(FIND("Italeri",A7,1),FALSE),"Italeri","")))
