I have a cell I2 which contains long string. I want to find out the following:
If string in I2 contains "month", then return "Monthly",
If string in I2 contains "year", then return "Yearly",
Else, return "other".
I am using the following formula, but I'm just getting #VALUE.
=IF(OR(ISNUMBER(SEARCH("month",I2)),"Monthly",(ISNUMBER(SEARCH(year,I2)))),"Yearly","Other")
I would appreciate any help or if you can please point out what I may be doing wrong. Thanks a bunch!
For anyone else out there, I also tweaked the formula a bit to get another value. I have two columns, one with "payment amount- column I" and another with "payment frequency- column V". I was ultimately trying to find the average revenue per user per month. To get that, I just had the formula print the value from V column in case the payment frequency was monthly. If payment frequency was yearly, I had the formula divide the value in V column by 12. See below for example and I hope it helps someone else out.

p.s. I'm starting the formulas in row 2, thus using 2 on all columns (e.g. I2, V2).
