Hello - I need to search a cell for two strings. If either of the two strings is found insert "YES" in the formula cell; if not, insert "No". Example:
If "WRITE" or "RW" is found in column A, insert "YES" in column B, else insert "No"

Column A Column B
















[TABLE="width: 508"]
<tbody>[TR]
[TD]CREATE SESSION No[/TD]
[TD][/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]AMITIB_WRITE YES[/TD]
