Hello All

I want to assign a value to each cell in a column according to the value in
the same row of the previous column, as follows:

if the cell in the previous column includes the word "hospital", the
assigned valus should be 1 - otherwise it should be 2.

I have tried:
=if (G2=*hospital*,1,2)
and
=if (G2=*"hospital"*,1,2)
and
=if (G2 like "hospital",1,2)

but none of them work!

I would be very grateful is someone could give me the correct syntax.

May thanks
Leslie Isaacs
