I have a spreadsheet with columns A to K and a large number of rows.

In column K there are a number of words one of which is the word "Correct".

I have set up another spreadsheet to act as an import sheet to record the answers if the word "correct" is found in a cell in Column K. If the word is found I would like the value held in column H to be shown on the second sheet.

I have tried =IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH('Sheet 1'!L2,'Sheet 2'!B15)),'Sheet 1'!B2) but this returns as FALSE and I'm struggling to find anything that would work for me.

Any help would be appreciated

Excel Facts

Test for Multiple Conditions in IF?
Use AND(test, test, test, test) or OR(test, test, test, ...) as the logical_test argument of IF.
In cell you want the data to be pulled into, the "Second sheet":
=IF(Sheet1!K2="correct",Sheet1!H2,"")
should work.
You'll probably need to change the references etc.
