Hello, I need to search a range of cells for the word Yes and then retunr the word True or the number 1 in the formula cell.

Range: J2:U2
- Range contains either the word yes or it is an empty cell.

I have tried using the =IF(ISERROR(SEARCH("*Yes*",J2:U2,1)),"","True") and that did not work. It did not error, it just did not return anything. I have looked at the array formulas but have yet to find one that will work.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Doug
