    OPPOSITE FORMULA

    I was provided this formula to not look for the word Repair Clin:

    =IF(O31="","",IF(AND(TRIM(B31)<>"Closed",NOT(ISNUMBER(SEARCH("Repair
    Clin",S31)))), O31+ROW()/10^10,""))

    Now, I need the opposite. I want it to look for the word Warranty item.

    Also, can anyone recommend a good Excel book.

    Thanks

    Try:

    =IF(O31="","",IF(AND(TRIM(B31)<>"Closed",ISNUMBER(SEARCH("Warranty
    item",S31))),O31+ROW()/10^10,""))

    Max,

    I thank you again for the formula and the website. One last one and I think
    the worksheet/book will be complete:

    Using the same criteria, delete column B from the equation.

    Hi!

    Check out this book list:

    http://contextures.com/xlbooks.html

    As for your "opposite" formula:

    That looks like one of Max's formulas?

    Maybe this:

    =IF(O31="","",IF(AND(TRIM(B31)<>"Closed",ISNUMBER(SEARCH("Warranty
    item",S31))), O31+ROW()/10^10,""))
