Evaluating a criteria based on grouping in another column

[joseulloa22]

am trying to get a formula that searches within a sales order (column A) and tells me if that sales order contains SECT or not (column C).

SALES ORDER	CUSTOMER	PLANNER
332456	HOME DEPOT	SECT
332456	HOME DEPOT	GATE
332550	THE FENCE MAKER	POST
332550	THE FENCE MAKER	GATE
332550	THE FENCE MAKER	HARDWARE
333980	GIMMICK	HARDWARE
335790	PARK FENCE	SECT
335790	PARK FENCE	POST
336000	HOME DEPOT	HARDWARE

<tbody>
</tbody>

Any help is greatly appreciated

Thanks

Try using COUNTIFS, e.g. for a specific sales order in E2 use this formula in F2

=IF(COUNTIFS(A:A,E2,C:C,"SECT"),"Yes","No")

Thank you much for the help.

The formula given evaluates by line item and tells me whether that line item contains SECT or not.
Would it be possible to evaluate by sales order? That is, a formula that look at the whole content of the sales order number and return whether the SO contains SECT or not.
For instance, the formula would look at SO 335790 which has two line items. Since it contains SECT it would return a "Yes" for the entire SO

If i am not wrong it should work if you just change the formula to this:
=IF(COUNTIFS(A:A,A2,C:C,"SECT"),"Yes","No"

Then all lines with that SO get a Yes if one of the lines contains SECT
