If part of a cell = "NVA" then insert "Norfolk" in return cell
Column C has various 8 character codes (city & state abbreviations). One #
and 7 alpha. If the 2nd, 3rd & 4th characters = "NVA" then I want it to return "Norfolk" in a Column J... if they = "RVA" it should return "Richmond" Column C Column J 0NVARIVA should yield Norfolk 2RVACFVA should yield Richmond 1SNCEUNC should yield Selma What formula or function do i use to make this happen? |

However, if need to cover "none of the above", post back for additional assistance, specifying your version of Excel. ----- original message ----- "RNCKWMN" wrote in message ...

Judging by the third example "Selma" I would guess you have many more places
than just Norfolk and Richmond. =MID(C2,2,3) gives you the NVA, RVA, SNC You can have some extra columns, let's say X and Y, where you will have the correspondence between NVA and Norfol etc: Col X Col Y NVA Norfolk RVA Richmond SNC Selma etc So what you need in column J will be: =VLOOKUP(MID(C2,2,3),X:Y,2,0) -- Allllen "RNCKWMN" wrote: Column C has various 8 character codes (city & state abbreviations).

Hi,
Suppose you create a little lookup table in L1:M3: NVA Norfolk RVA Richmond SNC Selma then your formula in J1 would be =LOOKUP(MID(C1,2,3),L$1:M$3) If you named the range L1:M3 "T" then this would be =LOOKUP(MID(C1,2,3),T) -- If this helps, please click the Yes button.

assuming you start at row 1 with no header. try this in cell J1
=IF(MID(C1,2,3)="NVA","Norfolk",IF(MID(C1,2,3)="RV A","Richmond",IF(MID(C1,2,3)="SNC","Selma","not in list"))) "RNCKWMN" wrote: Column C has various 8 character codes (city & state abbreviations).
