For the life of me, this isn't working..

In Column J.... there will either be 2 texts included = "SEL-", or "INC-"
If neither, then it should default to "BI"

I was thinking of using this:
=IF(FIND("SEL-",J:J,1)>0,"SEL","BI")

But I need to it first check for "SEL-", then "INC-", then default to "BI"
 

Excel Facts

What is the fastest way to copy a formula?
If A2:A50000 contain data. Enter a formula in B2. Select B2. Double-click the Fill Handle and Excel will shoot the formula down to B50000.
Try this

=IF(J1="SEL-,insert here what to do if SEL<insert what="" to="" do="" here="" if="" sel="">,IF(J1="INC-",<insert what="" to="" do="" here="" if="" inc="">insert here what to do if INC,"BI"))

Then drag down your column</insert></insert>

Hi,

Do you mean if either SEL- or INC- is found in Column J range?
And is SEL- and/or INC- part of a longer text string within Column J range?
