Hi,

I have the following sample data in column A.

germany (testing)
Germany (cold)
Germany
Austria (Testing)
Austria (cold)
Austria (working)
Austria (other)
China
China (alternate)


In column B, I want it to show that if the cell to the left has any of
the words 'testing' or 'cold' or 'working' it should show "yes" in
Column B else show "no".

Is this possible?



Regards,

Another approach:

=IF(OR(COUNTIF(A1,"*"&{"testing","cold","working"} &"*")),"yes","no")
