Can you people help me with below query using a VBA code or excel formula (if it is feasible and doestn't take time).

I have data in sheet1 where there is ID in column "A" and category in Column "B". category will have multiple text separated by commas. Possible categories are - Production, Development, Staging, Test, Training, UserAcceptanceTest, DisasterRecovery. what i am looking for is to have below result in column "C" for the below mentioned scenarios.

If Category column is as below then Column "C" values should be the one after "-" as below

1. empty - No
2. Development - Dev
3. Production - Prod
4. Test - Test
5. Staging - Staging
6. Training - Training
7. UserAcceptanceTest - UAT
8. Development AND Test AND Production OR any other category - All
9. Development AND Test OR any other category (Except Production) - Dev/Test
10. Test AND Production OR any other category (Except Development) - Dev/Test
11. Development AND any other category (Except Production and Test ) - Dev
12. Production AND any other category (Except Development and Test ) - Prod
13. Test AND any other category (Except Development and Production) - Test
14. any other scenarion - Not Defined

Excel Facts

What does custom number format of ;;; mean?
Three semi-colons will hide the value in the cell. Although most people use white font instead.
