    Re: Adding a columns displayed value not working

    hi there,

    in B1, the "1" is being recorded as a text because of the quotes around it. try this instead:

    =IF(LEFT(C1,5)="FREE",1,0)
    also, FREE is 4 characters long, but you are extracting 5 characters from C1 and then comparing that with "FREE". are you getting any results at all?

    you should share a sample workbook so that an informed and pertinent solution could be provided.

    - i.s.z -
    CSE, aka Array aka { }, formulae are confirmed with CONTROL+SHIFT+ENTER.
    Replace commas ( , ) with semicolons ( ; ) in formulae, if your locale setting demands.
    All good ideas are courtesy resources from this forum as well as others around the web.
