Conditional formula if content is text
How do i write an IF statement which does Task A if contents of a certain
cell are a TEXT and Task B if it is a numerical value. e.g. If(A1=any text,1,0) or If(a1=specific text,1,0) |

Sort of opens a whole new world, doesn't it? Microsoft needs to come up with
an easier way to return data types from a worksheet cell. I am sure that I am not the only one who struggles with this occasionally. "Gord Dibben" wrote: Before using isnumeric see this thread.

hi
i think you already have it. just add quotes to car. formula is....=if(A1="Car",1,0)......pick your format.
