    Answer ✓

    =VLOOKUP( [Facility Name]@row,lookup_table, 2, false)

    You'll need to click on the cross-sheet reference when you get to the lookup table part and select both columns in your lookup sheet.

    Let me know if you have any questions.

Hi @Christiana Gkini<\/a>,<\/p>

If the format of the entries is consistent then you can use a formula similar to this:<\/p>

=LEFT([Column to check]@row, (FIND(\"request\", [Column to check]@row) - 2))<\/p>

Example:<\/p>

\n
\n \n \"image.png\"<\/img><\/a>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Obviously you will probably need to change the \"Column to check\" in the formula, but this should be straightforward enough.<\/p>

Hope this helps; any questions or issues then just post! 😊<\/span><\/p>"}]}},"status":{"statusID":3,"name":"Accepted","state":"closed","recordType":"discussion","recordSubType":"question"},"bookmarked":false,"unread":false,"category":{"categoryID":322,"name":"Formulas and Functions","url":"https:\/\/community.smartsheet.com\/categories\/formulas-and-functions","allowedDiscussionTypes":[]},"reactions":[{"tagID":3,"urlcode":"Promote","name":"Promote","class":"Positive","hasReacted":false,"reactionValue":5,"count":0},{"tagID":5,"urlcode":"Insightful","name":"Insightful","class":"Positive","hasReacted":false,"reactionValue":1,"count":0},{"tagID":11,"urlcode":"Up","name":"Vote Up","class":"Positive","hasReacted":false,"reactionValue":1,"count":0},{"tagID":13,"urlcode":"Awesome","name":"Awesome","class":"Positive","hasReacted":false,"reactionValue":1,"count":0}],"tags":[]},{"discussionID":106973,"type":"question","name":"SUMIFS with CONTAINS","excerpt":"Hello, I want to write a formula that SUMS charges (\"Ext Price\" column) from all item descriptions that contain a word (\"CF\") from an accounting \"Activity Description\" column.
