Does this work for you:

=IF(COUNTIF(A1,"*ignition off")0,"Ignition off",A1)
?

Do you mean that cells containing Ignition off should change to mere

Ignition
off and all other words should be removed?
E.g.
Old content new content
GPS Ignition off Ignition off
Unlock Ignition off Ignition off
Health check Ignition off Ignition off
GPS Unlock Ignition off Ignition off

Dear Stefi,

You can't change a cell value by a formula. Yu can use a helper

column with a
formula in it returning the required result:
=TRIM(SUBSTITUTE(A1,"Ignition off",""))

Dear All,

I am looking for a formula that will change all the cells value if

that
contains the specified word. e.g.

GPS Ignition off
Unlock Ignition off
Health check Ignition off
GPS Unlock Ignition off

if a cell contains Ignition off then cell value should change with

Ignition
off and remove the other status with Ignition off.

Thanks
