Hello, I need assistance trying to figure out a way in which a formula will run based on a word within a specific column, and populate results in another column.

EX.
In column A if I have the word "Monday" then this formula will run and populate result in another column
If I have the word "Tuesday" then a different formula will run and populate result in the same column as the others

The formula result will all be populated into the same column

Please let me know if this is possible I would greatly appreciate it.
 
OK, not sure why you are being so vague and not wanting to give the details.
The danger in oversimplifying your question is the answer you get may work for your oversimplified example, but not work on your actual data.
I was really hoping that you could show us a realistic example of your data, formulas, and and expected results.
Without that, we can really only give generic answers.

You should be able to use a NESTED IF statement, as described here: IF function – nested formulas and avoiding pitfalls - Microsoft Support.
The formula could get a little long and cumbersome. There may well be simpler solutions, but without knowing the details I have been asking for, it is very hard to know exactly which ones may work in your particular circumstance.
Got it, thank you! I'll try that. Apologies for not being specific.

Excel Facts

Formula for Yesterday
Name Manager, New Name. Yesterday =TODAY()-1. OK. Then, use =YESTERDAY in any cell. Tomorrow could be =TODAY()+1.
You are welcome.

If you run into issues trying to implement it, please respond back to this ticket with the formula you have attempted to build.

It is 7 different values so lets say Monday-Sunday. Would this still work? I will try it thank you for your input.
It should work. The key is the check for if it's one means the first text in the cell has to be the start of the day, i.e. Monday. If would be a problem if your scenario was there's a sentence in the cell and Monday was a word somewhere in it. But from what you have shown it looks like it will work. Just have to do it 7 times for each day.
