Hi There,

I would like to know if there is an excel formula which can be used to search for specific values within a pair of cells.

1628498312523.png


As you can see from the attached picture, I have used the IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH function to indicate which cells contain the words 'Learner' or 'Site Admin', otherwise it displays 'N/A'.

What I would like is if there were a function which searches column A to determine if it has a value of 1.2; if so I want to then search column B to determine if it has one of the two values specified.

In other words, If A4 = 1.2 and B4 contains Learner or Site Admin then I want C4 to display Learner or Site Admin.

Is this possible?

Thanks!

Excel Facts

Which lookup functions find a value equal or greater than the lookup value?
MATCH uses -1 to find larger value (lookup table must be sorted ZA). XLOOKUP uses 1 to find values greater and does not need to be sorted.
Try this at C2 and Drag it down:

=IF(A2=1.2,IF(RIGHT(B2,7)="Learner","Learner",IF(RIGHT(B2,10)="Site Admin","Site Admin","N/A")),"N/A")

Hi Maabadi,

Thank you for taking the time to respond to the query I loaded yesterday. I was wondering if you would be prepared to look at this a bit further for me?

What I provided was not the actual data, just something I was trying to get an answer from and try to apply to the actual worksheet. It turns out a bit more complex than that.

I'll provide you with some of the actual data.

If the Test Step Column contains 1.2 and if the Step/Action contains either Learner, Site Admin, Learning Admin, Manager, Content Curator, Content Coordinator or Learning Admin User, then that role should be reflected in the Role column.


RoleTest StepStep/Action
1Launch the Web Application URL
1.2Login as [@User_Role = Learner]
2Logging in as a [@User_Role = Learner] ***** ****** **** ********** * ********* *** ********** * **************
3Select Login
4From the menu, click USERS > User Management.
5Click Create User
6Enter the User details.
7Select 'Require this user to change their password during first-time log in'
10Select or enter values
11Click Create
1.2Login as [@User_Role = Learner]
***** ****** **** ********** * ********* *** ********** * **************
1.2Login as [@User_Role = Site Admin] ***** ****** **** ********** * ********* *** ********** * **************
1.2Login as [@User_Role = Learning Admin] ***** ****** **** ********** * ********* *** ********** * **************
1.2Login as [@User_Role = Manager] ***** ****** **** ********** * ********* *** ********** * **************
1.2Login as [@User_Role = Content Curator] ***** ****** **** ********** * ********* *** ********** * **************
1.2Login as [@User_Role = Content Coordinator] ***** ****** **** ********** * ********* *** ********** * **************
1.2Login as [@User_Role = Learning Admin User] ***** ****** **** ********** * ********* *** ********** * **************

I get the feeling there may be more criteria to this but try a VBA
VBA Code:
Sub MM1()
 Dim  r As Long
 For r = Cells(Rows.Count, "B").End(xlUp).Row To 2 Step -1
    If Cells(r, 2) = 1.2 And InStr(Cells(r, 3), "Site Admin") Then
        Cells(r, 4) = "Site Admin"
    End If
    If Cells(r, 2) = 1.2 And InStr(Cells(r, 3), "Learner") Then
         Cells(r, 4) = "Learner"
    End If
Next r
End Sub
