Thumbs up Answer: Combine: ISNUMBER(SEARCH( and EXACT( ?

Hi there! It looks like you're trying to combine the functions ISNUMBER(SEARCH() and EXACT() in your Excel formula. Here's how you can do it:
  1. The SEARCH function looks for the text "Test" within the cell CI9. If "Test" is found, SEARCH returns the starting position of the text. If "Test" is not found, SEARCH returns the #VALUE! error.
  2. The ISNUMBER function checks whether SEARCH returns a number (i.e. the starting position of "Test" within CI9). If SEARCH returns a number, ISNUMBER returns TRUE. If SEARCH returns an error, ISNUMBER returns FALSE.
  3. The EXACT function checks whether the text in CI9 is exactly equal to "Test". If CI9 is exactly equal to "Test", EXACT returns TRUE. If CI9 is not exactly equal to "Test", EXACT returns FALSE.
  4. The AND function combines the results of the ISNUMBER and EXACT functions. If both functions return TRUE, AND returns TRUE. If either function returns FALSE, AND returns FALSE.

So the entire formula checks whether the text "Test" is found within the cell CI9 and whether the text in CI9 is exactly equal to "Test". If both conditions are met, the formula returns TRUE. If either condition is not met, the formula returns FALSE.

I hope that helps!
