Nested IF with CONTAINS

Andrea Hoerr

I'm trying to return a value based on different comparisons of the same string.

Example:

Return SIL, BRZ or GLD if one of those terms are in this string : "[blah1_SIL_L01_C99A] blahserver"

What works: =IF(CONTAINS("SIL", Path4), "SIL")

What doesn't work:

=IF(OR(CONTAINS("BRZ", Path4), "BRZ"), IF(CONTAINS("SIL",Path4), "SIL"))

=IF((CONTAINS("BRZ", Path4), "BRZ"), IF(CONTAINS("SIL", Path4), "SIL"))

Path4 refers to the cell containing the string "[blah1_SIL_L01_C99A] blahserver"

I have thousands of rows to perform this on.

Thanks!

=IF(CONTAINS("BRZ", Path4), "BRZ", IF(CONTAINS("SIL", Path4), "SIL"

Just some parenthesis issues with your second solution
