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.
Rjudenberg's solution will work, but you have to modify it with the Smartsheet Column Names.
=If(find("ABC", [Column A Name]3)=1,"ABC","X")

Thank you both
=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!

The producer column in all (3) sheets is set as a contact field. In a separate sheet, I'm trying to auto-populate the producer…
I am currently in business trial version, but i was told it is supposed to allow for full functionality, however when I click Ctr+F my search menu is only a search bar that allows me to only find the string, and it doesn't allow for replacing. Is it me or the F&R functionality rather limited?
