if a cell includes a certain word
If cell contains. If you want to do something when a cell contains specific text, you can wrap the formula in an IF statement like this: =IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH(substring,text)), Yes, No) Instead of returning TRUE or FALSE, the formula above, will return Yes if substring is found and No if not.
If a cell in column A contains a word like univ, I want the number 1 to appear in the respective row in column 2. If a cell in column A does not contain a word univ, I want the number 0 to appear in the respective row in column 2. Many thanks. Last edited by undergraduate; 01-29-2010 at 09:56 PM.
