Conditional formula if content is text

How do i write an IF statement which does Task A if contents of a certain
cell are a TEXT and Task B if it is a numerical value. e.g. If(A1=any
text,1,0) or If(a1=specific text,1,0)

Sort of opens a whole new world, doesn't it? Microsoft needs to come up with
an easier way to return data types from a worksheet cell. I am sure that I
am not the only one who struggles with this occasionally.

many thanks. this is the simplest. can you suggest what to do for part 2 of
my question. if for example i have to match to a specific text say,
If(A1=Car,1,0)?

hi
i think you already have it. just add quotes to car.

formula is....=if(A1="Car",1,0)......pick your format.
