i've attached a spreadsheet in which column H could contain various text strings and for each possible string, i want a value returned in column O. I'm using a formula combining IF, ISNUMBER, SEARCH as you can see in column O but it's getting too long/complicated b/c of the number of possible search strings. is there a way i can simplify this? thanks in advance for any help

Sorry, no idea. I see your post count as 66. Perhaps one of the admins will jump in.

I don't see any difference from this and the original file. Did you look at the file I posted?
