Workflow condition starts with < N

We have a use case where an assignee is variable based on an ID 'number.' The ID Number starts with a letter code, and the assignee is

IF ID starts with A-M

THEN AssigngedTo = User1@domain.com

ELSE AssigngedTo = User2@domain.com

Clarification:

A-M is A through M

Hi @Tony B

I hope you're well and safe!

Can you describe your process in more detail and maybe share the sheet(s)/copies of the sheet(s) or some screenshots? (Delete/replace any confidential/sensitive information before sharing) That would make it easier to help. (share too, andree@workbold.com)

I hope that helps!

Be safe and have a fantastic week!

Best,

Hi @Andrée Starå,

I hope this note finds you well.

Please find the screenshot below.

Use case: When the AR number's first letter is A through M, it is assigned to one worker, when it starts with N through Z, it is assigned to a second.

I appreciate any and all help you can provide.

Hi @Tony B ,

I had a similar case and this is what I did.

https://community.smartsheet.com/discussion/comment/318598#

I used a match formula to reference another sheet where I had the ABC running down one column and referenced the range (in ABC List Range 1 from Letters A- J), if no match then I knew it would be Manager B. This worked great!

=IFERROR(IF(MATCH(LEFT(fullname@row), {ABC List Range 1}, 0) > 0, "Manager A", ""), "Manager B")
