Default SEARCH and IF

OK, this may be a bit long-winded, but for the life of me I cannot get this
to work properly.

I hope someone can help.

(Obvoiusly) I am working on a file. The file requires a web-import of data
and then some minor coding. However, the Web site we usually get our data
from did an overhaul and changed their way of posting items. (For instance,
they used to post six columns -- when imported -- of data and now it's just
five.) However, that sixth column was critical for the import into our
business file.

I played around with SEARCH and IF functions and found a combination that
worked with stand-alone text if I added two columns before the text that was
supposed to be read.

When I tried it after importing a portion of a file, it did not work.

I added the two columns and each I am using the same exact formula ----

column 1 =SEARCH(,"@",1)
column 2 =IF<cell=1,"Away","Home"

However, in the first column, instead of coming back as 1 or empty, I get
the dreaded #VALUE!

Is there anyone that can help me? I know it sounds confusing, but any help
would be greatly appreciated!
