    Hi gang,
    If (B3 contains “wow”, C3=”wow”, nothing)
    Could someone help me with this statement. B3 contains text, a sentence, not just one word.

    tks

      Try this in cell C3:

      =IF(ISERROR(FIND("wow",B3)),"","wow")

      The FIND function returns a number if “wow” is found in B3, and an error #VALUE if not.
