Default If Statement Problem

I am having trouble with "if" and "then" working. Or maybe I'm just using the
wrong formula to do what I want in Excel.
What I'm trying to accomplish is, If a specific column says a specific word,
then five this cell ( which is in a different column) "xyz" value. I can't
get it to work with a word. I can get it to work with saying if this number
is typed in, then give the other cell this value. HELP!

If you post your actual formula, we'll have a better chance of identifying
your problem.

are you using quotes?

=if(a1="word","xyz","")

(if it's not "word" cell is empty)
