Recognising certain part of text then giving corresponding answer
I a have with variable text in it and I would like to search that cell and recognise if two letters are at the end of a number text sequence. If it is I want to give a certain word as a result and if not give the default answer:
In the first cell might be 123-01TM
In the second cell I have a choice of two answers, for example "Tim" if "TM" is at the end or "John" if "TM is not present
123-01TM TIM
123-02 JOHN
123-03TM TIM
123-04 JOHN
123-05 JOHN
123-06TM TIM
Hope thats makes sense
Thanks
if the data starts in
if the data starts in A1
enter this formula in B1:
=if(right(a1,2)="TM","TIM","JOHN")
you can then copy this formula down
Awesome, that's perfect
Awesome, that's perfect thanks mate!
