Elaine,

The Like operator can do what you ask, so just changing the first line...

'--------------------------
If rngCell.Value Like "*0# total*" And _
InStr(1, LCase(rngCell.Offset(1, -2).Value), "total") = 0 Then
rngCell.Offset(2, 0).FormulaR1C1 = "=R[3]C[1]"
End If
'--------------------------

I have a line of code that sees if a subtotal contains the text "00 total".
However, some of the totals can be "01 total", "04 total". All totals have 0
as their second last number but not as their last number. Is there an easy
way to correct the following code to take care of this discrepancy?

If InStr(1, LCase(rngCell.Value), "00 total") 0 And _
InStr(1, LCase(rngCell.Offset(1, -2).Value), "total") = 0 Then
rngCell.Offset(2, 0).FormulaR1C1 = "=R[3]C[1]"
