eth the Well Done
ot to =IF(B5="to","Well Done", "Whoops")
dna and =IF(B6="and","Well Done", "Whoops")
I am trying to create a Dolch word exercise for low ability young adults. I am putting a mixed up word in A column and If formula giving Well done if correct answer is put in B column. First row worked fine - (the) spelt correctly. Subsequent rows do not. All cells are formatted as text. Any ideas why.

I am looking to use an IF function that tests for the presence of text in a certain cell. Is this possible to be done?

You are welcome!

Can you use multiple cell in this formula and instead of true or false make it add. example between cell b14 to ae14 it encounters the word "so" it adds 1, so if there are 16 so then the results will be 16. help?

@jinn666 , maybe:
=COUNTIF(B14:AE14,"so")
