If a cell contains data convert another cell to a negative dollar

[PIVOTGURU]

This is my first post and I'm hoping there are a bunch of guru's waiting to help. I need a formula that will do the following:

If A2 contains "RGA" change the value in E2 to a negative dollar amount. Sounds easy...right?? I'm probably overthinking it a bit and am becoming crosseyed... help, anyone, anyone??

Thank you for your prompt response. I think the reason it's not working is the logic reflects ="RGA" when I'm looking for a "contains" formula. Any ideas?
