Hi Mike,
Yes, you can use the
"CONTAINS" function in an
IF logical test. However, in Excel, the function is called
"SEARCH" . Here's how you can modify your formula to achieve the desired result:
- =IF(SEARCH("Red",Q2)0,"Yes","No")
This formula will search for the word
"Red" in cell
Q2. If it finds
"Red" in the cell, it will return
"Yes". If it doesn't find
"Red", it will return
"No".
The
"SEARCH" function returns the position of the first character of the search text within the cell. If the search text is not found, the function returns the
#VALUE! error. That's why we need to use the
IF function to return
"Yes" or
"No" instead of the error message.
