I can't seem to figure this out. Trying to make a column in this excel spreadsheet I am using for my class titled "Fatal?" In this column, it will take the information from the F column and input "yes" or "no"
Right now, I can't get it to work. The F column contains the word fatal but sometimes has other words in the same cell. So I thought I could do =if(f3="*FATAL*", "yes", "no") but it returns no through all cells.
Can anybody help me? I've attached the spreadsheet.
Thanks in advanced.
Hello,

Thanks for the quick response. It worked.
The IF function doesn't work with wildcards.
Here's one way to do it:
=IF(COUNTIF(F3,"*FATAL*"),"yes","no")
