I'm looking for a formula to put in 100 rows to tell me if "exclude" is populated in any of the 250 columns. If yes, then "exclude included" If no, then "Exclude not included" Any ideas?

How to change case of text in Excel?
Use =UPPER() for upper case, =LOWER() for lower case, and =PROPER() for proper case. PROPER won't capitalize second c in Mccartney
Use a COUNTIF function to count the number of times it occurs. You just want to see if there is at least one there, i.e.
=IF(COUNTIF(range to check,"exclude")>0,"exclude included","exclude not included")

Just substitute the range you are checking into the formula.

Maybe:
Code:
=IF(COUNTIF(column range,"*exclude*")>0,"exclude included","exclude not included")
where column range would be something like B1:XFD1 ...

=IF(COUNTIF(A1:IP1,"*exclude*"),"exclude included","exclude not included")

I see you have COUNTIF covered so I'll go with MATCH.

The A2 to A6 formula looks for "exclude" by itself.
The A7 to A101 formula includes "exclude" as a part of any string.

P.S. Test data from my random extract of 100,000 words from Shakespeares plays, which apparently did not include "exclude" until I made it so.
