Evaluating a criteria based on grouping in another column

[joseulloa22]

am trying to get a formula that searches within a sales order (column A) and tells me if that sales order contains SECT or not (column C).


[TABLE="class: cms_table, width: 339"]

Any help is greatly appreciated

Try using COUNTIFS, e.g. for a specific sales order in E2 use this formula in F2

=IF(COUNTIFS(A:A,E2,C:C,"SECT"),"Yes","No")

Thank you much for the help.

The formula given evaluates by line item and tells me whether that line item contains SECT or not.
Would it be possible to evaluate by sales order? That is, a formula that look at the whole content of the sales order number and return whether the SO contains SECT or not.
For instance, the formula would look at SO 335790 which has two line items. Since it contains SECT it would return a "Yes" for the entire SO

Thanks

If i am not wrong it should work if you just change the formula to this:
=IF(COUNTIFS(A:A,A2,C:C,"SECT"),"Yes","No"

Then all lines with that SO get a Yes if one of the lines contains SECT
