    lookup "Contains"

    I am trying to find a if formula that solves the following:

    Cell has TORAH JAPANESE RESTAURANT in it. I want the fomula in the next cell to look for the word JAPANESE and retun a value of "YES" if the cell contains the word "Japanese" and Blank if it does not.

    If anyone can help Thanks

    Try

    =IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH("Japanese",A1)),"Yes","")

    where A1 contains your text string.
    Where there is a will there are many ways.
