Hello,
I have an excel sheet with too many rows.
But in Column A, I have many values which starts with XYZ. I have to identify them and need to use a unique value say TRUE or FALSE in Column B. How can I do this?
Thanks
Dali

if the data is in column A from A1 down in B1 type this formul

=IF(LEFT(A1,3)="xyz",A1,"")
