Find certain text in a cell
Hi all,
Wanna use a formula so that it can give logical result (True or False) if that cell contains certain words. Say cell A1 contains a text "I love you". Say cell A2 contains a text "I miss you". Say cell A3 contains a text "I hate you". Is there an "IF" function or formula that can give logical result (True or False) if that cell contains a word "hate". In this case, A3 should come up with True while A1 and A2 are false. Thanks |
