This is the original formula that searches one cell for the value and it works:
Excel Formula:
=IFERROR(IF(SEARCH("*MEDI-CAL*",'Phone Referral'!A6,1),"X1",””),"F")
Here's what I've tried with no avail:
Excel Formula:
=IFERROR(IF(SEARCH("*MEDI-CAL*",'Phone Referral'!A6,1),"X",IF(SEARCH("*MEDI-CAL*",'Phone Referral'!D10,1),"X","")),"F")
&
Excel Formula:
=IFERROR(IF(OR(SEARCH("*MEDI-CAL*",'Phone Referral'!A6,1),SEARCH("*MEDI-CAL*",'Phone Referral'!D10,1)),"X1",””),"F")
any help would be greatly appreciated
*can't use IFS

Use Data, What-If Analysis, Goal Seek to find the correct input cell value to reach a desired result
try this

=IFERROR(IFERROR(IF(SEARCH("*MEDI-CAL*",'Phone Referral'!A6,1),"X"),IF(SEARCH("*MEDI-CAL*",'Phone Referral'!D10,1),"X")),"F")
