    Can I create an Excel IF Function with Partial Text Match that results whole in the Text i

    I have a column with different information in it. I can use.
    In this example I will be referencing A17.
    =IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH("front", A17)), "Front", "") to get the text "Front" in the cell
    My question is, is it possible to do a similar IF function so search for "HUB" but not just paste "HUB". But instead paste the full HUB328 =IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH("Hub", A17)), "XXXX", "") .
    I want a function that i can use and drag down. For A17 it results in "HUB328". For A18 it results in "HUB329" etc.
    I manually put the information in Column H.
    I have downloaded Kutools but am still having a hard time navigating it
    Thank you

    if the following number is always 3 digits - you could use MID - the Search being the starting position

    Try this: ="HUB"&MID(A17,SEARCH("HUB",A17)+LEN("HUB"),SEARCH(" ",A17)-SEARCH("HUB",A17)-LEN("HUB"))
    Otherwise, follow the instructions found in the yellow banner above.
