If cell A3 contains "ABC" then enter "ABC" in cell A1.
Can someone help me do this in smartsheet?
I tried using =If(find("ABC",A3,)="ABC","ABC","X") but its not working.
Thank you
find returns the position at which the string is found
=If(find("ABC",A3,)=1,"ABC","X")
OK what will confirm if there is that text .
For example Credit data ABC 145.... it needs to confirm if there is abc in the string of text.
Thanks
Hi there, are you working in Excell or in Smartsheets? Smartsheets does not refer to columns by A, B, C as Excell or Google Sheets does. To reference a column you have to use its column name.

=If(find("ABC", [Column A Name]3)=1,"ABC","X")

=If(find("ABC", [Column A Name]3)>0,"ABC","X")
This should work You just need to replace the Column A Name with your own column name.
Thank you Smartsheet Community! I love you!

Essentially, I would like column 3 to calculate/display the difference between columns 1 and 2, removing a duplicate. For example: Column 1: A, B, C, and D are selected in the drop down Column 2: B is…
I need the formula to get the text from the next row in a specified column. I am creating the formula in row 2 in a column named 'Next' and want it to bring back the data from column 'Test' in row 3. This is what I have tried so far but getting #unparseable error. =INDEX(Test:Test, row() , +1) =INDEX([Test]:[Test], row() ,…
I have a formula that is currently working (see below); I need to add a condition, from a specific Column (Study Status)-that if it equals a particular choice ("Study Ongoing - Follow up"), that it doesn't even bother looking at this formula and automatically turns the FLAG off. Furthermore, I'll need to have several…
