Try:
=IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH($K$5,B6)),C6,"Not Found")

None of us get paid for helping you... we do this for fun. So DON'T FORGET to say "Thank You" to all who have freely given some of their time to help YOU.
Temporary addition of accented to illustrate ongoing problem to the TT: L? fh?ile P?draig sona dhaoibh
with the file this time...
If you are now using O365, you can use:
=IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH(K5,B6:B20)),C6:C20,"Not Found")
and do the calculation in a single cell
Glenn Thanks much your formula works fineOriginally Posted by Glenn Kennedy
Do you know why the formula i used didn't work.
Carroll
The syntax was incorrect. You need to use isnumber-search.
You're welcome.
