Use SEARCH or FIND, eg:

=IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH("Dir",I94)),0,125)

FIND is case sensitive.

Hope this helps.

Have a spreadsheet with following data:

Emp Name * *Title * * * * *Bonus
John A * * * * *Div Dir I
Jane B * * * * *Div Dir IV
Mark C * * * * Tech
Mary D * * * * Admin

I want to create a conditional formula that under Bonus that looks at the
title, and for every position that contains "Dir" will be 0, while other
titles will be $125. * Currently, my formula looks like this =IF(I94="Div Dir
I*"),0,125). *However the result is coming out as $125. *I need to know how
to adjust the formula to use a partial text word match. *

Thank you,
