Return Value In Another Cell If A Cell Contains Certain Text With Formula
 For returning value in another cell if a cell contains only a specific text, please try the following formula. For example, if B5 contains
“Yes”, then return “Approve” in D5, otherwise, return “No qualify”. Please do as follows.

Select D5 and copy below formula into it and press the Enter key. See screenshot:

Formula: Return value in another cell if a cell contains certain text

=IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH("Yes",D5)),"Approve","No qualify")

Notes:

1. In the formula, “Yes”, D5, “approve” and “No qualify” indicate that if cell B5 contains text “Yes”, the specified cell will be populated
with text “approve”, otherwise, it will be filled with “No qualify”. You can change them based on your needs.

2. For returning value from another cells (such as K8 and K9) based on a specified cell value, please use this formula:

=IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH("Yes",D5)),K8,K9)

Excel Price List With VLOOKUP and MATCH Function

You can create order forms and price lists in Excel, and automatically show a price when a product is selected in the order form. But
what happens if you want to give some customers special pricing, or offer sales pricing occasionally? Here's how to customize your
Excel price list with VLOOKUP and MATCH.

Using the VLOOKUP Function

With a simple VLOOKUP function in Excel, you can pull a product price from a lookup table. For example, if a customer orders a
jacket, the price is 25, based on this lookup table. The lookup table is a named range, ProductLookup.
To show the price after a product is selected in an order form, use a VLOOKUP formula to find that product in the lookup table. For
example:

=IF(B11="","",VLOOKUP(B11,ProductLookup,2,FALSE))

If cell B11 is empty (no product has been selected), the formula result is an empty string, and cell C11 will appear empty.

If a product has been selected in cell B11, the VLOOKUP formula finds the price in column 2 of the ProductLookup table.
Select a Variable Column

In the simple example shown above, the price will always come from the second column of the lookup table.

To use variable pricing, you could create a lookup table with two or more columns of prices, instead of just one.

In this example, the ProductLookup table has four columns, instead of two - Product, Price, Promo and Sale.

Select a Pricing Type

On the order form, add a drop down list where you can select one of those pricing types – Price, Promo or Sale.
Change the VLOOKUP

Then, in the VLOOKUP formula, replace the column number with a MATCH formula.

=IF(B11="","",VLOOKUP(B11,ProductLookup,MATCH($E$4,Pricing,0)+1,FALSE))

The MATCH formula finds the pricing type selected in cell E4, in a range named Pricing (cells B1:D1 in the lookup table).
How It Works

If Promo is selected, the MATCH formula returns a 2, because Promo is the second item in the Pricing range.

You’ll add 1 to that number, because the ProductLookup table has one column to the left of the pricing columns.

So, 2 + 1 = 3, and the promo pricing will come from the 3rd column of the ProductLookup table.

Security Tip: How To Protect Very Hidden Sheets

Any worksheet can be hidden, assuming at least one sheet remains visible in a workbook. Unless the workbook structure is password
protected, any hidden sheet can easily become visible again.

To hide a sheet: Right click the sheet tab & select Hide.

Excel has two levels of hidden sheets, hidden and very hidden sheets. The difference between the two is simply that very hidden sheets do
not appear in the Unhide dialog box. If the workbook contains both hidden and very hidden sheets, when a user opens the Unhide dialog box,
the very hidden sheets do not appear.

In order to ensure that hidden sheets 'stay hidden', sheet visibility should be modified in Visual Basic Editor (VBE) using a setting called 'Very
Hidden'.
The technique is simple: set the visible property of a sheet to 'very hidden'. The sheet won't appear in the Unhide dialog box anymore. Please,
follow the 3 steps outlined below:

Step 1: Right-click the sheet tab & choose View Code in the popup menu or launch VBE with ALT-F11
 Step2: Select the worksheet you want to hide in the Visual Basic Editor & press F4 to display sheet properties

Step 3: From the Visible property drop-down list, select the 2-xlSheetVeryHidden setting

To protect the stealthy 'very hidden' sheets from becoming visible again, some users believe that the VBA Project should be locked with a
password. However, this thinking is flawed for 2 reasons:
  The VBE can be password locked, only if the workbook is saved in a macro-enabled file format, such as .xlsm, xltm or .xlsb. The
default XML-based file format .xlsx for Excel 2007 (or later) cannot store Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) macro code, as there isn't
any vbaProject.bin (the file where code is stored) inside the XML container.

 But even if the active workbook is macro enabled, savvy users can execute VBA code from a second open workbook or add-in and
make very hidden sheets visible easily.

So, don't get misled by this myth and rely on the VBE password to keep sheets very hidden.

The Workaround
To prevent users from modifying hidden or very hidden sheet visibility, the workbook structure of any workbook, whether macro enabled or not,
should be password protected. Any attempt to modify the visible property of a hidden sheet will trigger one of the messages below to be
displayed.

Lock cells to protect them

Excel for Office 365 Excel for the web Excel 2019 Excel 2016
WindowsWeb

Suppose that your boss wants you to protect an entire workbook, but also wants to
be able to change a few cells after you enable protection on the workbook.
 Before you enabled password protection, you had unlocked some cells in the
workbook. Now that your boss is done with the workbook, you can lock these cells.

Follow these steps to lock cells in a worksheet:

1. Select the cells you want to lock.

2. On the Home tab, in the Alignment group, click the small arrow to open
the Format Cells popup window.
3. On the Protection tab, select the Locked check box, and then click OK to close the
popup.
Note: If you try these steps on a workbook or worksheet you haven't protected, you'll see the cells are already locked. This means that the cells are
ready to be locked when you protect the workbook or worksheet.

4. On the Review tab in the ribbon, in the Changes group, select either Protect
Sheet or Protect Workbook, and then reapply protection. See Protect a
worksheet or Protect a workbook.
Tip: It's a best practice to unlock any cells that you may want to change before you protect a worksheet or a workbook, but you can also unlock them
after you apply protection. To remove protection, simply remove the password.
In addition to protecting workbooks and worksheets, you can also protect
formulas.
