    =IF(ISNUMBER(FIND("v",A1)),"Ok","Not okay")

    drag down

    Hope this helps

    Assuming the data starts in cell A1

    Use this formula if you are looking for lower case v
    =IF(ISERROR(FIND("v",A1)),"Not OK","OK")

    Use this formula if you are looking for both lower case v and upper case V
    =IF(ISERROR(FIND("V",UPPER(A1))),"Not OK","OK")
