    Re: separate the word in another column based on the category

    You need to give a fuller description

    can only one category appear on a line. Is the key word always the last of first word in the description.
    how many categories will there be?

    =IF(COUNTIF(A2,"*bracelet*"),"bracelet",IF(COUNTIF(A2,"*necklace*"),"necklace")) work aand could be extended to more categories, but a lookup of the first or last word against a table would be more efficient if there are lots of categories and this is where the description appears
