[Anthony]

Use a macro to convert data files imported as CSV files into the correct
format for importation into another program.
Column A contains words COW, BULL, STEER,HEIFER

Need to add to my macro a formula that will examine column A and insert in
adjacent cell column G a "M" if the Column A cell contains Bull, "F" if the
A Cell contains COW or HEIFER; and "C" if it contains Steers

Any help greatly appreciated

thanks

Hi Anthony
Try
=IF(A1="","",IF(OR(A1="HEIFER",A1="COW"),"F",IF(A1="BULL","M","C")))

One way:

G1: =LOOKUP(A1,{"BULL","COW","HEIFER","STEER"},{"M","F","F","C"})
