What the agent was asked to do

You are solving a spreadsheet benchmark task in a real workbook. Objective: Produce the correct final workbook state for the expected answer region. What matters: - Only the values in the expected answer region will be graded. - The workbook is the answer. Instructions: 1. Read the workbook and inspect the relevant data region first. 2. Infer the required result for the provided workbook instance. 3. Write the final value(s) directly into the expected answer region. 4. Do not rely on prose, formulas in your chat response, pseudocode, or VBA as the answer unless the benchmark explicitly requires those to be written into cells. 5. If the natural-language task asks for a general method, formula, or macro, convert that into the concrete result needed for this workbook instance. 6. Keep your final text response short and only summarize the workbook cells you changed. Relevant data region(s): Expected answer region(s): C2:C7 Expected answer sheet(s): Task: Is there a way to create a formula in Excel that acts like an 'If UNLESS' condition? Specifically, I have a spreadsheet with two columns: Column A, which contains the values 'Sales' or 'Sales-Marketing', and Column B, which is either empty or contains the word 'General'. The requirement is to have a third column, Column C, display 'Sales' if Column A is 'Sales' and Column B is empty, 'Marketing' if Column A is 'Sales-Marketing' and Column B is empty, and 'Marketing' if Column A is 'Sales' and Column B contains 'General'. I am finding it challenging to construct a formula when there is a value in Column B. I want cell C6 to show "Marketing" when sub-dept = "General" and name is "Sales" My current formula is:IF(A2="","",IF(ISERROR(SEARCH("-",A2,1)),"Sales","Marketing")) Apply new formula.
