Help! If contains formula multiple options.
Hi, I need to do a formula to return different words like this: IF contains the word "Apple" then return "Fruit", or IF contains "plate" return "Restaurants", or IF contains the word "Gym" return the...
The attached version will work in older versions of Excel too, but it will return only one category.
Thanks SergeiBaklan ! Great Solution! But when I'm trying to use it in a lighter version of excel the formula doesn't work. Can you please help me with that? Thanks
Strange, your tag is "Excel for web", it shall work on it.
- It worked the Hans Vogelaar option but with only one category. I'll try again.
For Excel 2019 and later, you can use TEXTJOIN to return multiple categories:
=TEXTJOIN(", ",TRUE,IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH(Dict[word],[@Phrase])),Dict[category],""))
For Excel 2016 and earlier, you'd probably need a custom VBA function.
