Formula help please

[blackie42]

Using this formula in cell C2

=REPLACE(B2,FIND("B",B2),LEN("B"),"C")

gives the result of C (in C2) if theres a B (in B2)

I also want to get a result of D in C2 if theres an I in B2 so

=REPLACE(B2,FIND("I",B2),LEN("I"),"D")

Both work separately but can't figure how to nest the 2 functions together

help please - or is there another easier way to get the same result?

many thanks
Jon

Jon, I don't trust your explanation. Do me a favor and copy the working formula from the Formula Bar and paste it directly into the post.

See clear contents of adjacent cell(s) on for reason.

Just guessing here but try;

=Replace(B2,Find(Or("B",B2),Len("B"),"C"),("I",B2)Len("I"),"D")

Hi Guys,

Copied from formula bar

=REPLACE(B2,FIND("B",B2),LEN("B"),"C") & =REPLACE(B3,FIND("I",B3),LEN("I"),"D")

Can’t get your formula to work Aussie but thanks for trying

The contents of B2 would always be a single letter either B or I

thanks
Jon

Solution...

=SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(B2,"B","C"),"I","D")

thanks for your help guys
regards
Jon

Hi Sam,

It really was simple in the end - I use these types of IF statements regularly and it never clicked. Getting Old!

Thanks again
