Hello and thank you so much in advance for helping me - I am working o
a complex project that requires me to identify certain text within
string of variables and label the cell as "Home Stereo", Electronics
etc.

A2 is
http://w.126x.com/?kw=home electronics&src=excel&ref=help
A3 is
http://w.126x.com/?kw=home%stereo&src=excel&ref=help

In B2 I would like to enter a formula that says if in A2 the word
"home" and "electronics" appear then B2 would say "Home Electronics".
And I would like in the same formula to assign different labels so tha
I can also include if in A2 the words "home" and "stereo" appear the
B2 would say "Home Stereo"

I have a lot of different URLs in column A and about 10 differen
labels that I need to assign to the right values in A depending on th
words that appear in the actual URL.

Is this possible? Thank you for your time
 
If the kw response string is always the first one and there are no &'
in the value for kw, this function will work:

=PROPER(SUBSTITUTE(LEFT(RIGHT(A2,LEN(A2)-22),FIND("&",RIGHT(A2,LEN(A2)-22))-1),"%20",
"))

Here's what it does:
- Strip the left most stuff including ?kw=
- Find the first & and strip everything to the right of it
- Replace the %20 with a single space
- Change to Proper Case

If not, I don't think it can be done in one formula (but I could b
wrong).
