Default how do I test for a text value in cell c1, if it is there, make c.

I have downloaded my credit card statement into an Excel spreadsheet
I want to test for certain text strings (ex.: "Shell")
If the text string exists in a cell, I want the numeric value in the next
cell (the charge) entered into a third cell.
summary: if "Shell" exists in C1, then C3 equals the value in C2.
