Default help with countif function
Try it with an IF, ie as:
=IF(COUNTIF(D49:M52,"defect raised"),1,0)

hi - I want to report a fixed value of '1' if the term 'defect raised'
appears in a range of cells, regardless of frequency.

the current formula I have is =COUNTIF(D49:M52,"defect raised")

but this reports the frequency instead of the value 1.

ie this should be a binary value - 1 if the term is present and 0 if
not.

no idea how to do this, any help appreciated.
