Hello ali
Amend Mike's formula with:
=IF(COUNTIF($A$1:$A5000,"*Thailand*")0,"True","")

HTH
Cordially
Pascal

Thanks a lot for the reply first!

However, this is NOT working ! !

this formula returns cells "exactly equals" to "Thailand" , not
"Containing"
the word "Thailand"

is there any other way to get it ?

I have a spread sheet (5000 entries)

i have an extra column at the end.

I'd like to generate a formula which find if my data in column A
(A1:A5000)
contans the word "Thailand".

if it containt the word "Thailand" , i shall get a sign (or an
indicator,
say... "TURE", something like that)
