Hello - I have been searching but am unable to find the formula for my particular situation. Can anyone please share the formula with me for the following:

 

If my column titled [WBS Description] contains the word "Learn" then I want the value in the column titled [Service Type] to be changed to "Training". 

 

I can't seem to get the formula correct. Any help is greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance!

Hi @ronrona96 

 

Use a Formula tool set the column to [Service Type] and use the formula 

IF Contains([WBS Description], "Learn") THEN "Training" Else [Service Type] ENDIF
