The problem with using FIND() in this scenario though Bob, is that it
*doesn't* accept wild cards, and to meet the OP's specs, wildcards *are*
necessary.

If you want it case-sensitive, amend RD's formula to
=IF(ISERR(FIND("CP",A1)),"","CP")

Try this:
=IF(ISERR(SEARCH("*CP*",A1)),"","CP")

IN cell a1 I have CP-Barge
In B1 I want a formula that says IF A1 contains CP then Enter CP into cell
B1otherwise leave it Blank
I have tried =IF(a1="*CP*","CP","") but it does not work.
Thanks for your help
