How to save document with different name, if certain row contains a special character?

I have a normal document.save, I am trying to create an if statement that will save as failed.docx, if this character * appears in the No column.

How can I do this?

Below is the whole code that I am working with to create the docx file.

Instead of looking for column No, it'll be best to see if * is inside row[2]. Basically because anything in there will be classed as a no.

vars = []
for idx,i in enumerate(info):
    var = IntVar(value=0)
    vars.append(var)
    lblOption = Label(main,text=i)
    btnYes = Radiobutton(main, text="Yes", variable=var, value=2)
    btnNo = Radiobutton(main, text="No", variable=var, value=1)
    btnNa = Radiobutton(main, text="N/A", variable=var,value=0)
    lblOption.grid(column=4,row=idx, sticky = W)
    btnYes.grid(column=1,row=idx)
    btnNo.grid(column=2,row=idx)
    btnNa.grid(column=3,row=idx)

document = Document()

#add table
table = document.add_table(1, 4)
#style table
table.style = 'Table Grid'

#populate header row
heading_cells = table.rows[0].cells
heading_cells[0].text = "Options"
heading_cells[1].text = "Yes"
heading_cells[2].text = "No"
heading_cells[3].text = "N/a"

for idx, item in enumerate(vars):
    cells = table.add_row().cells
    cells[0].text = info[idx]  # gets the option name
    val = item.get()  #radiobutton value
    if val == 2:  # checks if yes
        cells[1].text = "*"
    elif val == 1:   # checks if no
        cells[2].text = "*"
    elif val == 0:   # checks if N/A
        cells[3].text = "*"

#save doc
document.save("test.docx")

Heres where I got up to, but defintely not the correct way of doing it:

   if "*" in cells[2]:
       print("true")
       #do not save as document.save("test.docx")
       #but save as document.save("Failed.docx")

UPDATE

I have got up to here:

for x in cells[2].text:
    if "*" in x:
        print("True")
    else:
        print("False")

If No has been selected then it prints out True, but if it hasn't it does not do anything, im confused why?...

You had it so close! add .text end of your cells[2].

This is what it should look like:

 if "*" in cells[2].text:
     print("true")
     document.save("Failed.docx")
 else:
     document.save("test.docx")

I may not be understanding the question. Are you asking how to change the document name, or how to properly check for the "*" character?

Changing the name is simple; just use a variable. 

docname = "test.docx"

for idx, item in enumerate(vars):
    cells = table.add_row().cells
    cells[0].text = info[idx]  # gets the option name
    val = item.get()  #radiobutton value
    if val == 2:  # checks if yes
        cells[1].text = "*"
    elif val == 1:   # checks if no
        cells[2].text = "*"
        docname = "failed.docx"
    elif val == 0:   # checks if N/A
        cells[3].text = "*"
        docname = "failed.docx"

document.save(docname)
