If Cell Starts with Text String… Formula

Question

I have formula that checks if the cell starts with text \"A\" returns Pick up \"B\" for Collect and C for Prepaid.

But it doesn\'t seems to be working properly

B

Answer 1

As of Excel 2019 you could do this. The "Error" at the end is the default.

SWITCH(LEFT(A1,1), "A", "Pick Up", "B", "Collect", "C", "Prepaid", "Error")
