In this video we use the IF function of Excel to test if a cell contains specific text.
Usually with the IF function you test a cell for a complete match, but in this example we need a partial match on text.
We then extend the scenario to handle a problem and then test for two different specific text strings.

Hi Alan,
Thank you for the tutorial.
I am trying to achieve in the formula to show the following:
If one "CB2" is standalone to show "local", if "CB2 & "CB3" (combined) to show "local & far" and if "CB3" to show "far"
How can I achieve this?
TIA

Sudhanshu Mohanty says:
Is there a way to return the text that you are searching for in the cell? So for the example above it is looking for CB2. I have a list of search items and a range of text strings. I want to search for these items in the text strings – if it finds the value then output that value that it finds.
