If Function combined with OR and LEFT
 

Hi all,
I am trying to create a formula that returns a value based on certain
criteria in a cell.
Here is my data:
Must Contain 1
Must Contain 2
Contain 1
Compliant

I want to the formula to return 1 if the cell contains the word "Must" or
the word "Compliant". Any other data would return a 0.
Is there a way to do that?
Thanks for the help.

JRJ,

Could you provide an example of the entries? Including Column Letters, and
data entered?

Try this:

=--(SUM(COUNTIF(A1,{"must*","compliant"}))0)
