Libreoffice Calc / Excel - Multiple IF statments

Viewed 24

I'm at a loss here, I'm just wanting to match the contents of a cell to a partial value and if true, set the value in a new cell.

Colum E2 contents (2 rows):

MCDONALD'S #49019 QF5
THRIFTY FOODS #5649 NEW YORK

In cell E3 for example I have this:

=IF(ISERR(SEARCH("*MCDONALD'S*", E2)), "no match", "fast food"),
IF(ISERR(SEARCH("*THRIFTY FOODS*", E2)), "no match", "grocery")

It results in an error.

Now if I just have the first condition:

=IF(ISERR(SEARCH("*MCDONALD'S*", E2)), "no match", "fast food")

Then is works just fine, so how do I get this to work with multiple conditions?

Also trying this, with no success. It successfully matches the first criteria, but when the second criteria matches I just get the "Error" value...

=IFERROR( IF(SEARCH("MCDONALD'S", E3),"Fast Food", IF(SEARCH("THRIFTY", E3),"Grocery", "No Match" ) ) ,"Error")
