Anonymous Please try this..

 

=IF (CONTAINS(TableName,[Content],"SHOWS"),"SHOWS",IF ([Content] IN {"DRY","WATER"},"DRY","HC"))

Note - CONTAINS will return TRUE if there is any row in the table that contains SHOWS in the Content field. Not sure whethere you want that behaviour or looking for searching in each row then try this

 

IF(SEARCH("SHOWS",[Content],1,0)>0,"SHOWS",IF(Test140[Content] IN {"DRY","WATER"},"DRY","HC"))
