Hi junebugs65,
Try this ...
=IF(B12="meals",F12/2,F12)
Paste this into any cell except B12 or F12 and it should work in the cell its pasted into.
I really appreciate thank you messages as a payment for solving issues :o)

Thank you for getting back to me so quickly. It only works if it finds the exact word "meals'. Sometimes the cell can contain a different string like "staff meals' or "hotel and meals". How would I deal with that?

Try this instead.
=IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH("meals",B12)),F12/2,F12)
Hope this works for you. - let us know :^)

YES! it works. I didn't quite know how to use the ISNUMBER function, tried to Google but couldn't find what I was looking for.
Thanks Brian. I'm sure you'll hear from me again.
