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.

How to show all formulas in Excel?
Press Ctrl+` to show all formulas. Press it again to toggle back to numbers. The grave accent is often under the tilde on US keyboards.
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 ??
