Hello
I have the following formula that works but I need an additional bit that says if B9 does not contain "apple, carrot, or meat" result should = "Other". Whereas right now it displays "False".

Excel Formula:
=IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH("Apple",B9)),"Fruit",IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH("Carrot",B9)),"Vegetable",IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH("Meat",B9)),"Meat")))

How to show all formulas in Excel?
Press Ctrl+` to show all formulas. Press it again to toggle back to numbers. The grave accent is often under the tilde on US keyboards.
Hi,

would this do it for you ?

Excel Formula:
=IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH("Apple",B9)),"Fruit",IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH("Carrot",B9)),"Vegetable",IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH("Meat",B9)),"Meat","Other")))
