If cell contains any of the following letters, then..
 

Hi there,

I need an if formulae in a2 that says if cell a1 contains the word
"procedure" then put "x", if not put a "y".

ie an x would be the result if cell a1 stated:
"this is the procedure", or
"procedure is this", or
"this is the only procedure required"

Any ideas...?

Thanks

D
