How can I create an IF statement in Excel that uses the word "con.
 

I would like to create something that uses the following statement. If cell
A4 "contains" the value of johnson then true else false. I want Excel to

Someting like this? Unfortuntely, I had to translate from Swedish. You may
also want to use LOWER(A1) To make sure you get a match for JOHNSON

=IF(ISERR(FIND("johnson",A4,1)), False,True)

=(LEN(A4)LEN(SUBSTITUTE(A4,"johnson",""))
