Hello, I would like to write a macro to return values in adjacent cell if a cell contains certain text. For example, if D2 contains any of the following, write the corresponding value in E2; same for D3, D4, etc.:

If D2 contains "REG_EU", write Europe in E2 and/or
If D2 contains "CN", write China in E2 and/or
If D2 contains "US", write North America in E2 and/or
If D2 contains "REG_WORLD", write North America, Europe and China in E2.

I've included a sample for reference.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

How to total the visible cells?
From the first blank cell below a filtered data set, press Alt+=. Instead of SUM, you will get SUBTOTAL(9,)

Hi Mick, you almost have it. Is it possible to prevent the last comma after China when D2 has repeating text inputs? It works great when D2 has one text input reference. Here is an example. The reason I ask is because I will filter Column E and would like consent returns Thank for your help.
