![]() How do I apply the "begins with" filter to an IF statement? I would like to test a match on the first 3 characters of a string in a given cell? -- Cecil ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Cecil's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...o&userid=29035 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=487648 |

![]() Cecil, =IF(LEFT(A1,3)="ABCD",A1,"") This will look at the 3 leftmost characters and return a value if it is true.

![]() Cecil, =IF(LEFT(A1,3)="ABC",A1,"") Only indicate 3 characters in quotes. My last example had 4. Sorry!
