I have a list which is the source of 8 choices. Then the answer is written in column CHOIX EXO 1, 2… I want to set a value (1 to 4) according to the result. (column Coeff) If CHOIX EXO 1 is or includes several words in the list = 1 or 2 or 3 or 4. For example : if CHOIX EXO 1 includes chenille or épaules or i want result 1. My question is can i suggest several words in “enter value” or should i repeat the process for every word. Thanks Darren.

You’d have to repeat it, but you can do that within a single if-then-else column. It would be something like: - If CHOIX EXO 1 includes chenille, then 1 - If CHOIX EXO 1 includes épaules, then 1 - etc… An alternative would be to use a JavaScript column. ---

How many cases in total do you have? If there are too many, JS is a better alternative. ---

Can you explain what you mean by “renaming cells”? It can help people who read this topic later. ---

Every terms in the data list i use for the choice are renamed according to the future category i want to have. So i wrote (1) or (2) or (3) or (4) inside. Then when user pick the choice it includes (1) or (2)…and i can have what i wanted.
