Default Return value using partial value of a cell.

Can anyone tell me how to use some logic to return a value from a partial
cell reference? Here is what I have tried, as you can guess they didnt work.
Is there a wild card that could be put before and after in the formula? (That
is what the % was all about in my first attempt.) note column B is where i am
trying to return the value from the formula.

=if(a1=%her%,€¯her€¯,0) I also tried€¦ =if(a1=€¯her€¯,€¯her€¯,0)
