Hi again - I thought I had this one sorted but can't seem to get it working without an error.

I'm looking for the following:

If cell A1 contains the string "NTB" or "N2B" anywhere within the cell text then return "Y" into B1 otherwise return "N" in B1.

Thank you again :)
 

Excel Facts

Select a hidden cell
Somehide hide payroll data in column G? Press F5. Type G1. Enter. Look in formula bar while you arrow down through G.
Try:
Excel Formula:
=IF(OR(ISNUMBER(FIND({"NTB","N2B"},A1))),"Y","N")
...which is case sensitive. Use SEARCH instead of find if case sensitivity doesn't matter.
