Function Argument logic and if statements

Hi Everyone,

I am so stuck.
Im trying to write a formula that will look in Column C for certain words.

For example, If column C has the work Kick. Have the word kick in Column A.
or
If Column C has the word rain, Have the word rain in Column A.
or
If Column C has the word storm, Have the word storm in Column A.
or
anything else show NA.

I tried 2 different ways below and im very close but cant solve this.

=OR(IF(ISERROR(SEARCH({"*kick*","*rain*","*storm*"},C2)),FALSE,TRUE))

=IF((COUNTIF(C2, "*kick*") + COUNTIF(C2, "*rain*") + COUNTIF(C2, "*storm*")), TRUE, FALSE)


Thank you so much,
Jenn

Hi:

Use this formula

=IFERROR(LOOKUP(2^15,SEARCH($F$1:$F$3,C2),$F$1:$F$3),"")

Thanks
Hi Nebu,
what if I wanted to say instead of Inserting the word rain I would like to insert the word "best". for Storm, I would like to insert the word "better".
I have the screen shot below and added it also to the excel file.
