I am trying to do an "IF" statement. Not an ordinary IF tho'. I have got data in one column and I need to use only the last 2 digits of the info for my my formula. What I am trying to say is; In one Column I may have: A2345UT. A1245RO A2345HG A3465UT ETC I want to do a formula that will give me a value in another column based solely on the last 2 digits. ie: If the last 2 digits equals UT, then place the value 40 in the column, if the value equals RO place the value 50, if the value equals HG place the value 60 etc etc I have done this type of formula a couple of years ago, and I am now not able to remember how I did it.
