    You need to say what your desired solution is. Mock it up manually or explain.

    Re: Help extracting word from a cell please

    Your explanation is not very clear, especially with only ONE sample cell:

    =IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH("gain",A1)),"gain","")

    what do you mean by : "these words changed in the next cell"?? A different text, but still looking for "gain".... or smething else??
