Thumbs up Answer: IF cell contains part of text

Sure, you can use the IF function in combination with the SEARCH function to achieve this. Here are the steps:
  1. Select the cell where you want to display the result.
  2. Type the following formula:
    Formula:
    =IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH("16Z",A1)),"Yes","No"
  3. Replace "A1" with the cell reference of the cell you want to check for the text "16Z".
  4. Press Enter.

The formula will check if the cell contains the text "16Z" and return "Yes" if it does, and "No" if it doesn't. The SEARCH function is used to find the position of the text "16Z" within the cell, and the ISNUMBER function checks if the result is a number (which means the text was found). If the text is found, the IF function returns "Yes", otherwise it returns "No".

Note that this formula is case-sensitive, so it will only find "16Z" and not "16z" or "16zZ". If you want to make it case-insensitive, you can use the FIND function instead of SEARCH and wrap the text to search for in the UPPER function to convert it to uppercase.
