    Check to see if a cell contains multiple texts

    I'm trying to check if a cell contain multiple texts.

    Example of my code is below:

    =IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH("psca",A2)),"Test",IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH("email",A2)),"email","")*(IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH("base",A2)),"CSE","")))

    When I use this I keep getting an error that says "You've entered too many arguments for this function"

    Any help would be very useful. Thanks!

    Try it as:

    =IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH("psca",A2)),"Test",IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH("email",A2)),"email", IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH("base",A2)),"CSE","")))
    Where there is a will there are many ways.
