Default This is what I want to do: =if(a1 CONTAINS "BIRD","YES","NO", false)

Greetings all you XLS Masters


IF cell A1 equals TWEETY BIRD
This is what I want to do in cell B1
=if(a1 CONTAINS "BIRD","YES","NO", false)

It must be simple - unlike the HELP system on Excel

Care to help?
Thank You

From a non-master!

Enter this in B1

=IF(ISERROR(FIND("BIRD",A1,1)),"NO","YES")

What do you want to do? In English, not in some syntatically incorrect
formula. When do you want Yes? No? False?

=if(countif(A1,"*bird*"),"Yes","No")

If you want it to be case sensitive ("TWEETY bird" would result in No), then
use Toppers' suggestion.
