Excel Facts

Remove leading & trailing spaces
Save as CSV to remove all leading and trailing spaces. It is faster than using TRIM().
In A1 put =IF(Left(B1,3)="Due","Due","Not Due")

or if you wanted the Due to stand out:

=IF(Left(B1,3)="Due","Due","")

Hi
How about

=IF(LEFT(B1,1)="D","Due",IF(LEFT(B1,1)="N","Not Due",""))

Assumes you don't have anything else in column B starting with D or N

Jack,

=IF(LEFT(B1,4)="Due ","Due","Not Due")

where the structure in B is assumed to be:

"Due" followed by a-space followed by a-date. When that's the case, we get "Due" in A,otherwise "Not Due".

Just one more for true overkill:
=IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH("not due",B1)),"not due",IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH("due",B1)),"due",""))

may help if you have some sloppy typest (like me) or those who don't follow your suggested format
