Hi guys

I just can’t seem to work this one out. Your help would be most appreciated.

Is it possible to combine the AND function with the following formula?

=IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH("high",A5)),1,IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH("moderate",A5)),1,""))

Something like this:
=IF(AND(ISNUMBER(SEARCH("high",A5)),1,IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH("moderate",A5)),C5>"",1,"")))

What I want is a formula that says:
If A5 is found to contain the word high or moderate, and C5 is not empty, then display a value of 1, otherwise display nothing.
 

Excel Facts

Round to nearest half hour?
Use =MROUND(A2,"0:30") to round to nearest half hour. Use =CEILING(A2,"0:30") to round to next half hour.
Sort by date Sort by votes
And() is usually very finicky (I learned the hard way when I was trying to learn arrays, but the "+" sign works better for or, and the "*" for and.

Code: 
=IF((ISNUMBER(SEARCH("moderate",A2)))+(ISNUMBER(SEARCH("high",A2))),1,"")

Try this...

=IF(AND(C5<>"",COUNT(SEARCH({"high","moderate"},A5))),1,"")

Trying to do this in excel,the box N3 can contain more than just Ok or Rotten so i need to do a keyword search.

If P3 quals Bananna and N3 contains "Ok" then AD3="Eat"
If P3 quals Bananna and N3 contains "Rotten" then AD3="Dont eat"
If P3 quals Apple and N3 contains "Ok" then AD3="Eat"
If P3 quals Apple and N3 contains "Rotten" then AD3="Dont eat"

This all needs to be on a single forumla :(

hope someone can help

thanks

Try...
Rich (BB code): 
=IF(OR(P3={"Bananna","Apple"}),
    IF(N3="Ok","Eat",IF(N3="Rotten","Don't Eat","")),
    "")

Sorry, it should be

If P3 quals Bananna and N3 contains "Ok" then AD3="Eat 1"
If P3 quals Bananna and N3 contains "Rotten" then AD3="Dont eat 1"
If P3 quals Apple and N3 contains "Ok" then AD3="Eat 2"
If P3 quals Apple and N3 contains "Rotten" then AD3="Dont eat 2"

There are 4 outcomes :)

Set up a range like below, say in A2:C5...

<TABLE style="WIDTH: 174pt; BORDER-COLLAPSE: collapse" border=0 cellSpacing=0 cellPadding=0 width=232><COLGROUP><COL style="WIDTH: 48pt" span=2 width=64><COL style="WIDTH: 78pt; mso-width-source: userset; mso-width-alt: 3697" width=104><TBODY><TR style="HEIGHT: 14.4pt" height=19><TD style="BORDER-BOTTOM: windowtext 0.5pt solid; BORDER-LEFT: windowtext 0.5pt solid; BACKGROUND-COLOR: transparent; WIDTH: 48pt; HEIGHT: 14.4pt; BORDER-TOP: windowtext 0.5pt solid; BORDER-RIGHT: windowtext 0.5pt solid" class=xl65 height=19 width=64> </TD><TD style="BORDER-BOTTOM: windowtext 0.5pt solid; BORDER-LEFT: windowtext; BACKGROUND-COLOR: transparent; WIDTH: 48pt; BORDER-TOP: windowtext 0.5pt solid; BORDER-RIGHT: windowtext 0.5pt solid" class=xl65 width=64> </TD><TD style="BORDER-BOTTOM: windowtext 0.5pt solid; BORDER-LEFT: windowtext; BACKGROUND-COLOR: transparent; WIDTH: 78pt; BORDER-TOP: windowtext 0.5pt solid; BORDER-RIGHT: windowtext 0.5pt solid" class=xl65 width=104> </TD></TR><TR style="HEIGHT: 14.4pt" height=19><TD style="BORDER-BOTTOM: windowtext 0.5pt solid; BORDER-LEFT: windowtext 0.5pt solid; BACKGROUND-COLOR: transparent; HEIGHT: 14.4pt; BORDER-TOP: windowtext; BORDER-RIGHT: windowtext 0.5pt solid" class=xl65 height=19>Bananna</TD><TD style="BORDER-BOTTOM: windowtext 0.5pt solid; BORDER-LEFT: windowtext; BACKGROUND-COLOR: transparent; BORDER-TOP: windowtext; BORDER-RIGHT: windowtext 0.5pt solid" class=xl65>Ok</TD><TD style="BORDER-BOTTOM: windowtext 0.5pt solid; BORDER-LEFT: windowtext; BACKGROUND-COLOR: transparent; BORDER-TOP: windowtext; BORDER-RIGHT: windowtext 0.5pt solid" class=xl65>Eat 1</TD></TR><TR style="HEIGHT: 14.4pt" height=19><TD style="BORDER-BOTTOM: windowtext 0.5pt solid; BORDER-LEFT: windowtext 0.5pt solid; BACKGROUND-COLOR: transparent; HEIGHT: 14.4pt; BORDER-TOP: windowtext; BORDER-RIGHT: windowtext 0.5pt solid" class=xl65 height=19>Bananna</TD><TD style="BORDER-BOTTOM: windowtext 0.5pt solid; BORDER-LEFT: windowtext; BACKGROUND-COLOR: transparent; BORDER-TOP: windowtext; BORDER-RIGHT: windowtext 0.5pt solid" class=xl65>Rotten</TD><TD style="BORDER-BOTTOM: windowtext 0.5pt solid; BORDER-LEFT: windowtext; BACKGROUND-COLOR: transparent; BORDER-TOP: windowtext; BORDER-RIGHT: windowtext 0.5pt solid" class=xl65>Don't eat 1</TD></TR><TR style="HEIGHT: 14.4pt" height=19><TD style="BORDER-BOTTOM: windowtext 0.5pt solid; BORDER-LEFT: windowtext 0.5pt solid; BACKGROUND-COLOR: transparent; HEIGHT: 14.4pt; BORDER-TOP: windowtext; BORDER-RIGHT: windowtext 0.5pt solid" class=xl65 height=19>Apple</TD><TD style="BORDER-BOTTOM: windowtext 0.5pt solid; BORDER-LEFT: windowtext; BACKGROUND-COLOR: transparent; BORDER-TOP: windowtext; BORDER-RIGHT: windowtext 0.5pt solid" class=xl65>Ok</TD><TD style="BORDER-BOTTOM: windowtext 0.5pt solid; BORDER-LEFT: windowtext; BACKGROUND-COLOR: transparent; BORDER-TOP: windowtext; BORDER-RIGHT: windowtext 0.5pt solid" class=xl65>Eat 2</TD></TR><TR style="HEIGHT: 14.4pt" height=19><TD style="BORDER-BOTTOM: windowtext 0.5pt solid; BORDER-LEFT: windowtext 0.5pt solid; BACKGROUND-COLOR: transparent; HEIGHT: 14.4pt; BORDER-TOP: windowtext; BORDER-RIGHT: windowtext 0.5pt solid" class=xl65 height=19>Apple</TD><TD style="BORDER-BOTTOM: windowtext 0.5pt solid; BORDER-LEFT: windowtext; BACKGROUND-COLOR: transparent; BORDER-TOP: windowtext; BORDER-RIGHT: windowtext 0.5pt solid" class=xl65>Rotten</TD><TD style="BORDER-BOTTOM: windowtext 0.5pt solid; BORDER-LEFT: windowtext; BACKGROUND-COLOR: transparent; BORDER-TOP: windowtext; BORDER-RIGHT: windowtext 0.5pt solid" class=xl65>Don't eat 2</TD></TR><TR style="HEIGHT: 14.4pt" height=19><TD style="BORDER-BOTTOM: windowtext 0.5pt solid; BORDER-LEFT: windowtext 0.5pt solid; BACKGROUND-COLOR: transparent; HEIGHT: 14.4pt; BORDER-TOP: windowtext; BORDER-RIGHT: windowtext 0.5pt solid" class=xl65 height=19> </TD><TD style="BORDER-BOTTOM: windowtext 0.5pt solid; BORDER-LEFT: windowtext; BACKGROUND-COLOR: transparent; BORDER-TOP: windowtext; BORDER-RIGHT: windowtext 0.5pt solid" class=xl65> </TD><TD style="BORDER-BOTTOM: windowtext 0.5pt solid; BORDER-LEFT: windowtext; BACKGROUND-COLOR: transparent; BORDER-TOP: windowtext; BORDER-RIGHT: windowtext 0.5pt solid" class=xl65> </TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE>

Now you can invoke...

Control+shift+enter, not just enter:
Rich (BB code): 
=INDEX($C$2:$C$5,MATCH(N3,IF($A$2:$A$5=P3,$B$2:$B$5),0))
If you don't want to set up such a table...

Control+shift+enter, not just enter:
Rich (BB code): 
=INDEX({"Eat 1";"Don't eat 1";"Eat 2";"Don't eat 2"},
  MATCH(N3,IF({"Bananna";"Bananna";"Apple";"Apple"}=P3,
   {"Ok";"Rotten";"Ok";"Rotten"}),0))
