I am trying to get a loop to return a value (Previous or Current) when looking through a column. My coding is returning "Previous" when it should be "Current" and vice versa. Also, I am trying to get it to return a value (Current) if a string of text in a cell contains the word "Error".

So if the cell :
contains the word "Error" in it =Current
value is > 201814 = Current
all other cells =Previous

This is what I have

For f = 2 To LastRowData


If Cells(f, 12).Value = "*Error*" Then
Cells(f, 13) = "Current"
ElseIf Cells(f, 12).Value > "201814" Then
Cells(f, 13) = "Current"
Else: Cells(f, 13) = "Previous"

End If

Next f

Thanks!

In col L are the values numbers or text?
Also when you have "Error" is it exactly like that or could it be "error", or maybe "ERROR"?

The values are both numbers and text.

The wording in some cells is Error 4_PRI LOCKED_P04. This will change monthly. The consistent word is Error.

How about
Code:
For f = 2 To LastRowData
   
   
   If Cells(f, 12).Value Like "*Error*" Then
      Cells(f, 13) = "Current"
   ElseIf Cells(f, 12).Value > 201814 Then
      Cells(f, 13) = "Current"
   Else: Cells(f, 13) = "Previous"
   
   End If

Next f
