Find Function - or something along these lines! HELP!!!

[Amy33]

Hi!

I am trying to find a formula that will help me... not sure if anyone can help me at all pretty please!!

I need something that to have a formula that will help me...

So the formula would be...

If cell A1 contains the word 'Joint' then cell B1 needs to be multiplied by 2, if cell A1 contains the word 'Family', cell B1 needs to be multiplied by 3, if it doesn't contain anything else then B1 multiplies by 1...

I managed to get two functions in by using formula:

=IF(ISERROR(FIND("Family",A1)),B1*1,B1*3)

But I couldn't get the joint in there as well any help would be really appreciated!!!

How about
=B1*IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH("Joint",A1)),2,IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH("Family",A1)),3,1))

Maybe this and family comes first

=B1*IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH("family",A1)),3,IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH("joint",A1)),2,1))

So if family and joint is in A1 then you get 3 not 2.

Try:

=IF(ISERROR(FIND("Joint"))B1*2,IF(ISERROR(FIND("Family",A1)),B1*1,B1*3))

How about
=B1*IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH("Joint",A1)),2,IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH("Family",A1)),3,1))

Thanks so much - this looks like it is working - now having a bit of a play
