IF condition

[Sahitya]

I have to change the name as per the group in 'Type' column. it is working fine if it is represented as single name, but not with multiple names.

Eg., For Apple, Orange, Watermelon, it should come as Medium, Soft

Formula used in 'Type' Column -

=IF(OR([@Names]="Orange",[@Names]="Watermelon",[@Names]="Banana"),"Soft",IF([@Names]="Apple","Medium",
IF([@Names]="Pineapple","Hard",
"Check Names")))

Names	Type
Orange	Soft
Pineapple	Hard
Apple, Orange, Watermelon	Check Names
Orange	Soft
Banana	Soft
Watermelon, Pineapple	Check Names

You need to have a separate table which shows the qualification per item.

i will be taking dump from sharepoint and which has fruit names which are true or false. With your help i used textjoin to concatenate the 'Names' column.

Problem here is everytime i refresh the dump, data keeps varying and also i will be creating some more validations and from this sheet pivot will be called.

is there any other which will help without having a seperate table

Apple	Orange	Banana	Watermelon	Pineapple	Names	Type
FALSE	TRUE	FALSE	FALSE	FALSE	Orange	Soft
FALSE	FALSE	FALSE	FALSE	TRUE	Pineapple	Hard
TRUE	TRUE	FALSE	TRUE	FALSE	Apple, Orange, Watermelon	Check Names
FALSE	TRUE	FALSE	FALSE	FALSE	Orange	Soft
FALSE	FALSE	TRUE	FALSE	FALSE	Banana	Soft
FALSE	FALSE	FALSE	TRUE	TRUE	Watermelon, Pineapple	Check Names

In G2 control+shift+enter, not just enter, and copy down:

=TEXTJOIN(", ",TRUE,IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH(" "&$K$2:$K$6&","," "&$F2&",")),$L$2:$L$6,""))

I will show you a simple example which can tell you whether text in one cell contains something or not:

IF(countif([@Names],"*Apple*")>0,"Medium"

if [@Names] contains "apple", COUNTIF returns 1, otherwise COUNTIF returns 0.

Thank you Very much, it solves the problem.

Instead of 'medium, soft, soft' can be get as 'medium, soft' without duplicating the type.

Will ii get concatenated names ?

 

[shaowu459]

To get concatenated names, Textjoin is still need.

You are real saviour for me. Thank you very much Mrexcel.
