Hello - I need to search a cell for two strings. If either of the two strings is found insert "YES" in the formula cell; if not, insert "No". Example:
If "WRITE" or "RW" is found in column A, insert "YES" in column B, else insert "No"

Column A Column B
















CREATE SESSION No
AMITIB_WRITE YES
AMI_READWRITE YES
AWD_TIBREADWRITE YES
CONNECT No
CORP_SECURITY_RW YES
DBA_RW YES

Can anyone please advise how to do this?
Thank you
