Thanks! That was fast. Its almost working. I neglected to say that the word
Zebra is part of a text string in the cell. I'm just looking for that word and not the others.

If it is case-sensitive, use FIND(), otherwise use SEARCH()
IF(not(iserror(search(D1,"Zebra"))),"Stripe","Some thingElse") "vacation" wrote: Thanks! That was fast. Its almost working.

If Function
The formula is producing the result SomethingElse for each cell in column
A...like its never seeing that Zebra is found in column D at all and therefore never returns Stripe when it should.
