I have a spreadsheet where I've done an index match to return criteria. I have to match three or four columns to get the information that I need, so I have three or 4 columns that either have the information I need or a "NO" from the index match. I need a formula to look at the columns and say, if the value is in this column, return it, otherwise go to the next column, etc. also I have the formula IF(ISERROR(SEARCH("FL:",IR3)),"",IR3) but where the "FL:" is, may be "FL:ABC" or "FL:XYZ", with many combinations. so I need to match the 3 or 4 columns, and return the value that contains "FL:" with something else after it. I hope this makes sense.
