Return Text if a cell contains the $ symbol

**DeeLaa77** · 08-27-2012, 12:29 AM

Hi All,

I am trying to return a text value to a cell if another cell contains the Dollar symbol ($).

e.g.

George $30
Bill
Harry
John $30

I would like to paste a formula next to each one that returns "Cash" if there is a $ Symbol or "Free" if it doesn't.

Any help would be appreciated.

Cheers

Dee

=IFERROR(IF(FIND("$",A2,1)>0,"Cash",""),"Free")

Thanks, that works perfectly.

Slightly shorter alternative

=IF(ISNUMBER(FIND("$",A1,1)),"Cash","Free")
