    Formula to display whether a text data is present or not in a column

    I need help on which formula to use for the following query!

    If I have some short messages in cell number 1 and 3 of column A and cell number 2 and 4 are empty. I need a formula which gives a result as 1 when there is a message and 0 for no text message in column B. Thanks in advance.

    Eg
    A B
    Hello 1

    Nice 1
