I am using below function to search a string for a matching word from another string and the logical test is performed and if true (e.g., XXX), the value_if_true output is given (e.g., YYY), else the output in the value_if_false parameter is given.

IF(ISNUMBER(FIND(""XXX"",RC[-1],1))=TRUE,""YYY"", <should fetch value from another column value>)

Now i want to give the value fetch from another column value. Need help how to put value in above RED string referencing another column value directly.
 

Excel Facts

Will the fill handle fill 1, 2, 3?
Yes! Type 1 in a cell. Hold down Ctrl while you drag the fill handle.
The full function is:
IF(ISNUMBER(FIND(""XXX"",RC[-1],1))=TRUE,""YYY"", <fetch from another column value><should fetch="" value="" from="" another="" column=""></should>)

Can anyone please help ??
