Using IF function with multiple conditions to auto populate cell

Hi and good day to all,

I have been trying to do this for a while now but am quite lost on how to do it. Hoping some kind souls here can help a noob like me, please.



Cell B1: contains some description and I want to focus on those with keywords such as "bill payment", "interest earned", "funds transfer"

Cell B2: to partial search the keywords (with wildcard?) and reflects;

"Expense" for "bill payment",
"Income" for "interest earned",
"Transfer" for "funds transfer".
"Other" for no matches of any above-mentioned (Expense, Income, Transfer)



After looking at other examples in the Forum and watching different YouTube tutorials, I think IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH) might be the solution for me.

But is it possible to add multiple conditions to the IF function?;


=IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH("*Transfer*", B1)), "Transfer", "")


Thank you so, so much in advance!

try below
=IFERROR(LOOKUP(2,1/SEARCH({"payment","earned","transfer"},B1),{"Expense","Income","Transfer"}),"Other")

Change "payment","earned","transfer" these key words as per your need.
