tough IF problem

M

martin

I download a file into excel & have to deal with the fact
that it does not come out in a particular order.

So I have data as:

B1 C1 D1 E1
410 410-xxx data Result

My formula states =IF(LEFT(C1,3)=RIGHT(B1,3),E1,"")
and I get the answer "Result"

However, the download also places info as follows:

B1 C1 D1 E1
A222XXX HF01 Result 6.5

I have done an interim fix which will result in a long
winded route of getting all the "Results" in 1 column but
is there any way of having a single cell formula that will
pick up both "Results" whether they be in column D or E?

I don't think I can use a VLOOKUP as the "Results" in
question are actually dozens of different words.

Good Luck!
