@AFatria 

In I2:

=IF(J2="Generic",E2,"")

Fill down.

thanks a lot for help me,
one more time sorry sir, in "column I" has been filled a formula "Vlookup" which is integrated with the key sentence in "column j", so how do I fill in "column I", with the keyword "Generic" for results that are exactly the same as "column E" but do not eliminate the formula in "column I"

thank's
Rgrd.

@AFatria 

I I understand you correctly, you should change the formula in column I from

 

=VLOOKUP(...)

 

to

 

=IF(J2="Generic",E2,VLOOKUP(...))
