Excel Value Comparison & Result Consolidation
If This ~ Or That ~ Then This ~ Else This
With raw data in cell(s) A2:xx, place the following formula in cell(s) B2:xx
=IF(OR(ISNUMBER(SEARCH("*Item1*",A2)),(ISNUMBER(SEARCH("*Item2*",A2)))),"Assigned Value",A2)
This formula will search the contents of cell A2 and if it finds anything relating to “Item1” OR “Item2”, it will place the word “Assigned Value” in B2. If it doesn’t find the referring value, it will simply place the existing contents of cell A2 in cell B2.
