    Here's another one:

    =IF(COUNT(MATCH("unresponsive",A1:J1,0)),"Yes","No")

    welcome to the forum, benitopjuarez. the word "contain" is very sensitive. i would label these texts as containing the word "unresponsive"
    they are unresponsive
    unresponsive clients
    an unresponsive person

    so if those of the above are to be considered, then add wildcards to both ratcat's & Tony's solutions:
    =IF(COUNTIF(A1:Z26,"*Unresponsive*")=0,"No","Yes")
    =IF(COUNT(MATCH("*unresponsive*",A1:J1,0)),"Yes","No")

    Thanks, if you have clicked on the * and added our rep.

    Sweet Jesus yes. Thank you.

    I'd been looking furiously for hours upon hours trying to figure this out and your formula worked PERFECTLY.

    THANK YOU.
