I am trying to do a if or statement with a multiple countif statement and im not sure if what I want to do is possible.
I have a comments column of text and I only want to pull out the text with certain key words. This is my formula at the moment =IF(OR(COUNTIF(B6,"*period*"),B6="*location*"),"true","false").
Please can some advise if there is any kind of solution to this. Many thanks

Try
=OR(ISNUMBER(SEARCH({"period","location"},B6)))
Where there is a will there are many ways.

Thanks that worked perfectly, Ive spent ages on trying to work it out so thanks a million.
an alternative might be to play around with the countifS() function
1. Use code tags for VBA. [code] Your Code [/code] (or use the # button)
2. If your question is resolved, mark it SOLVED using the thread tools
