IF Cell Contains This Text VLOOKUP

Faisal F

Hello,

The Status Column has a dropdown menu with multiple options with the text "Completed" and some other options:

1. Completed awaiting Signature
2. Completed Reviewing
3. Completed Approved
4. Failed
5. Inspection

I want this formula to work with any options from the drop-down menu with the letter completed. This is what I have so far but it's not working unless I have the exact value between the quotation mark.

=IF([Status]@row = "Completed", VLOOKUP(Address@row, {Range 2023}, 27, false))

Thanks,

Faisal

=IF(contains("Completed",[Status]@row), VLOOKUP(Address@row, {Range 2023}, 27, false))
