Formula to change names

Hi there,

I am importing an excel doc and there is a column where I need to change the text.

Original Name

Change to

US Ford Passenger Vehicle Concern NA CRC

PV Concern

US Ford Truck Concern NA CRC

Truck Concern

US BEV NA CRC

BEV Team

How do I write a formula that can change the original names to the shorter names? (see above)

Thanks

    I would use an automation instead of a formula. You could use conditional paths that have the original values then use the change cell value action to change to the new values.

    If you really want a formula (which will need to go in a helper column) you can use a simple nested IF statement such as:

    =IF([Field with original value]@row = "US Ford Passenger Vehicle Concern NA CRC", "PV Concern", IF([Field with original value]@row = "US Ford Truck Concern NA CRC", "Truck Concern", IF([Field with original value]@row = "US BEV NA CRC", "Bev Team")))
