Hi Guys, I have an application with a max cell entry of 250 characters.

If cell BA2 has a string with more than 250 characters, I need it shortening to 200 and the phrase "......details below" (without apostrophies) adding to the end, otherwise, if less than 250, just the string .

So far I have:

=IF(LEN(BA2>250),LEFT(BA2,200)&(AZ10)),BA2 (Where AZ10 = ".....details below")

No matter how many characters the cell contains, I cannot get the formula to stop the additional text appearing if less than 200.

Please help!

TIA
 

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.
Maybe like this

=IF(LEN(BA2)>250,LEFT(BA2,200)&AZ10,BA2)
