    splitting data in a column

    The data listed below is all in column A. Based on the data in the parentheses, I want a return of Monthly, BW or Hospital in column B. Other than doing a text to column or sorting and manually typing in Monthly, BW or Hospital, is there anything else I can do to get my desired results?

    Excel is attached.

    Thanks for your help!

    In A2 enter:

    and copy down.
    let Source = #table({"Question","Thread", "User"},{{"Answered","Mark Solved", "Add Reputation"}}) in Source

    Re: splitting data in a column

    I didn't download your file.

    When you have an entry like this:

    01/26/2014 - 02/08/2014 (Hospital Bi-Weekly (Sun - Sat))

    What result do you expect since it contains two of the keywords you're looking for?

    Re: splitting data in a column

    this is an array formula
    b2 =IF(SUM(IF(ISERROR(SEARCH({"Monthly";"BW";"Hospital"},A2)),0,1))>0,INDEX({"Monthly";"BW";"Hospital"},MATCH(1,IF(ISERROR(SEARCH({"Monthly";"BW";"Hospital"},A2)),0,1),0)),"BW")

    Ctrl+Shift+Enter
    Appreciate the help? CLICK *

    Re: splitting data in a column

    Based on the expected results, I've assumed that "Hospital" takes priority over "Bi-Weekly".

    Re: splitting data in a column

    =LOOKUP(MID(A2,27,1),{"H","M","U"},{"Hospital","Monthly","BW"})
    Try this one
