Ok, the easiest thing to do, is name the cell a range.
Then in excel, evertime you use the variable of "TIRES", it refers to cellAL2362.
Give that a go!

Perhaps something along these lines.
=IF(ISNUMBER(LOOKUP(20^20,SEARCH(T1:T6,AL2362))),1,0)
Where T1:T6 holds your list of names/numbers.
=IF(ISNUMBER(LOOKUP(20^20,SEARCH(T1:T6,AL2362))),1,0)
Where T1:T6 holds your list of names/numbers.

Thank you. Will try it and let you know. However, can you pls explain me 20^20,SEARCH(T1:T6,AL2362))),1,0), specially the 20^20 with the symbol ^? I suppose 1,0 is to avoid it to give you a FALSE statement if not true. Many thanks

The 20^20 is a large number. The Search is looking for a match in AL2362 from your list T1:T6. So if you select the cell where your formula is > F2 on the keyboard > Left click and drag across the search function and hit the F9 key this display an array if there is a match there will be a 1 in the array. So the lookup is looking for a number and returns the number 1.

Hi Kevin,
Thank for the above. But, I don't understand very well the part where you ask me to select the cell where your formula is > F2 on the keyboard > Left click and drag across the search function and hit the F9 key. It seams to work fine but only on the first column, then it only shows number 1. I pressed function F2 on the formula, and then dragged it down....but not clear what you mean by drag across the search function and hit the F9 function. Once I dragged it down (sorry, but as said not sure what you mean by dragging it across the search function), and then hit F9, but nothing happens. Many thanks
=IFORAL2362="waste",AL2362="Shunt",AL2362="GKN",AL2362="no",AL2362="BOS",AL2362="85"),"1")

It enables you to see the result of part of your formula, so why are you trying to drag it down!!!
Didn't find the answer you are looking for?

Hi Kevin,
I know what you mean and it was probably me not explaining it properly. I came across array formula =IF(OR(AL2362={"waste","Shunt","GKN","no","BOS","85"}),"1"). Thanks for your time sorry not explaining it clearly. It can be complex sometimes to explain excel issues I guess
