» Determining Long Distance Phone Calls, Based on the Number Dialed

Problem:

Column A lists the numbers dialed for all phone calls made on a particular day.
All numbers starting with "1", except for those starting with "1800", are for long distance calls
We want to analyze each number in column A and determine whether or not it was used for a long distance call.

Solution:

Use the IF, AND, LEFT, and MID functions as shown in the following formula:
=IF(AND(LEFT(A2,1)="1", MID(A2,2,3)<>"800"),"Long Distance", "Not Long Distance")
