Ok So I want to sort a bunch of data to categorize but I have a lot of them (maybe 100-150 possibilities/categorize) and I have maybe 6000 rows of data. What is the best way to sort it into the categorizes? I know I can use a bunch of if else statements but is there a faster way? Hope you get what I mean here
 

Excel Facts

Using Function Arguments with nested formulas
If writing INDEX in Func. Arguments, type MATCH(. Use the mouse to click inside MATCH in the formula bar. Dialog switches to MATCH.
I am not sure of what you exactly want but I'd use pivot table to sort the data into various categories.
