How to Use Excel to Determine if a Specific Word is in a Sentence

This Excel course teaches how to determine if a specific word is present within a sentence in a cell. By using the SEARCH and ISNUMBER functions together, you can create a formula that returns TRUE if the word is found and FALSE if it's not. The SEARCH function automatically handles partial matches. If the word is located, the formula gives a numeric position, triggering ISNUMBER to return TRUE. If the word isn't found, an error is returned, leading to ISNUMBER giving a FALSE. To make the search case-sensitive, the FIND function is used. If you want to take actions based on whether a cell contains a certain word, an IF statement can be used. For example, enclosing the formula in an IF statement allows it to return "Yes" if the word is found and "No" if not. To test for a specific word, just enclose it in quotation marks in the formula.
