Welcome to the board..

Try
=IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH("Gift Set",A1)),"Gift Sets","")


However, if you are going to expand this to many different categories, I would look for a alternate approach like a lookup.

 

[adam akhirat]

oh yeah i want to do it in many categories, like skincare, makeup, tester, samples, body lotions, after shave, after shave balm, body cream, body powder, deodorant, shower gel, soap,...

help me man thanks a lot and really appreciates it =D

Create a lookup Table in say D2:E10
Column D = the key words skincare makeup tester etc...
Column E = the corresponding values you want returned based on the keywords.

Then use

=LOOKUP(2^15,SEARCH($D$2:$D$10,A1),$E$2:E$E10)
A1 is the cell with the longer string.

There cannot be any blanks in D2:D10

ok i will try again but if 1 products belong to more than 1 category,
can i combine it and let it like this example..
Gift Sets|Deodorant|Soap

thankz man

 

[Jonmo1]

That's a whole other story, and definately not easy.
Would most likely require VBA Code.

 

[adam akhirat]

may i know what is the meaning of this "2^15" ?
thank you

 

[Jonmo1]

2^15 = 2 to the power of 15 = 32768
32768 just happens to be 1 larger then the maximum number of characters allowed in a cell (32767)
Thus ensuring the lookup value is larger than any possible numeric result of the Search function

thank man..really appreciates it =D
