Hi, Hope someone can assist with this one.
I have a spreadsheet with column A containing series of email addresses, in the column B I'd like to assign a value based on email domain in Column A.
I tried the below forumla and it works, but stuck on how to extend it so it will cater for all domain variations.
=IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH("gmail",A3)),"Segment2","")
Values to assign for domains are
Assignments
DomainsSegment
hotmailsegment 1
gmailsegment 2
yopsegment 3
yahoosegment 4


Sample of expected result


Hope it makes sense.

Could you construct a lookup table and then use a formula like this?

B2:B5B2=VLOOKUP(REPLACE(LEFT(A2,FIND(".",A2,FIND("@",A2))-1),1,FIND("@",A2),""),D$2:E$5,2,0)
Awesome! Did not think of this approach. Will try it out.
Thank you.
