    eg:

    Banner: Comment Syntax eg

    DAngelos Restaurant Good to go (something like) =if(a5) contains "DAngelos", good to go el se error

    Dangelos Restaurant Error

    hope this is will do

    Re: If Condition to Validate

    you may be able write a formula for one specific case but where is the list of data you wish to validate and where is the list you use to check?
    eg

    =IF(ISNUMBER(FIND("DAngelos",A5)),"good to go","error") will work but by the time you put that in a cell you could have done it manually
