Default CREATE A LOGICAL TEST CONTAINING TEXT

try
=if(cell="a",a response,if(cell="b", b response, non a or b response))
and copy down.
(assuming you want to do this for each row)

Default CREATE A LOGICAL TEST CONTAINING TEXT

=IF(A1=[A text],A logical response,if(A1=[B text],B logical response,[logical
response for neither A nor B))

Without more information about what your cells contain it's hard to give a
more concrete explanation.
