return cell value if it contains X

[erenkey]

I need help with a formula that will retuen me a cell's contents if the cell contains the word TICKET.

Not sure what your cell references are. A formula like this can do it.
=IF(B3="TICKET",C3,"")

It just says if cell B3=ticket then return contents of C3, otherwise return a blank. You can change the cell references to what you need.

Try:

=IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH("Ticket",A1)),A1,"")

Here's a start, return j and loop as required.

Sub find_cell_value()
Dim j

    Cells.Find("ticket", , xlValues, xlPart).Select
    j = ActiveCell.Value
    MsgBox (j)
End Sub

The cell wil contain more info other than the word TICKET and the info is text and not numbres. Will this still work?

Did you try what I posted above?

Mine won't, but MR. Kowz will. If you dont want to return the same cell contents, you can modify Mr. Kowz to this:
=IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH("ticket",A1,1)),C1,"")

This will return no matter where "ticket" is found in a text string.

My mistake. I typed the formula incorrect. It works. Thanks
