Shouldn't your Sheet1 reference go on the A1 in the ISTEXT function call
as well?

Ooops!

I left out the sheet reference in the ISTEXT function. Should be :

=IF(AND(ISTEXT(Sheet1!A1),ISERROR(SEARCH("Already" ,Sheet1!A1))),"x","")

=IF(AND(ISTEXT(A1),ISERROR(SEARCH("Already",Sheet1 !A1))),"x","")

I searched the board, but couldn't find an exact answer to my issue, so
I'm
looking for some help.

I have a column that may contain text or may be blank.

I want to place an "x" on another sheet if:
1. There is text in the cell AND
2. The cell does not contain the word "Already" in the sentence

Thanks!
