Excel condition with OR operator -
i learning ms excel
formula making. if cell of column a
has text sat
or sun
within respective column b
should weekly off
following not working.
=if(or(search("sun",a:a),search("sat",a:a)),"weeklyoff")
=if(or(search("sun",a1),search("sat",a1)),"weeklyoff","")
normally place in b1 , copy down. if did series of errors. problem when either search fails located text searching for, generates error. avoid this, need wrap search in error catcher iferror , set return 0 if there error.
=if(or(iferror(search("sun",a1),0),iferror(search("sat",a1),0)),"weeklyoff","")
now technically speaking search going tell start location of looking within string. if have "xxxxsat2" search "sat" going tell 4. luckily logical part of if statement seems take positive integer true. above formula work is. have changed following:
=if(or(isnumber(search("sun",a1)),isnumber(search("sat",a1))),"weeklyoff","")
alternatively if column excel date cells formatted display day of week, use following:
=if(or(weekday(a1)=1,weekday(a1)=7),"weeklyoff","")
