Wildcard in IF Function

P

Phil

Is there anyway to use a wildcard in the logical test
portion of the IF function. I have tried using an
asterisk similar to filtering but can not seem to get it
to work. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Phil

It's not really a "wildcard" per se, but you can use a helper cell
(X1).......

=if(A1=$X$1,dadadada,dededede)........then you can change X1 at will to
change the formula in a lot of cells......
