    Using IF statement with multiple values.

    Hi,

    I am trying to write an IF statement to do the following:

    If cell A1 contains 17, then display a 1, else display a blank.

    Cell A1 contains the following 4, 6, 9, 17, 21, 45.
    Is it possible to pick up 17 out of a cell when there is other data contained within that cell.

    Cheers

    Terry

    hi Terry, welcome to the forum. if data is always consistent with 1 space & comma, then:
    =IF(ISNUMBER(FIND("17, ",A1&" ")),1,"")

    otherwise, upload an Excel sample of the many variations you have
