HI Everyone!
I hope your all well!
I have a bit of an interesting one here,
In column A there is a list of product names. Within these names there are keywords like perfume or lotion or hair etc
Is it possible to use formula to look for these specific words within a cell and return a predetermined word.
My reason for doing this is so I can easily put each product in a category.
To make it a little more complicated - can we make it so multipule words will return the same category.
Eg - The category BATH will be used for product names containing; wash, shower gel, shower, bath.
I have included an example of what I was going for in the attached spreadsheet. I have filled in the categories in column B to show what I was going for BUT that is the column that I'm looking to fill in with the formula.
Any help that you can give will be much appreiated
Cheers
