Default Search Multiple columns for criterion asterisk (*) and Return Numeric Label

It looks like some cells contain one asterisk and other cells contain
two asterisks. Is this correct? If so, does this mean that while your
criterion is one asterisk that you'd like to return the numeric labels
for any row whose cells contain one or two asterisks?

Hi All,

I would like to search multiple columns for criterion asterisk (*) and Return
across a single Row Multiple Numeric Labels that MATCH the criterion on their
respective Row.

1. The criterion is an asterisk * (multiplication sign) housed in cell A2
2. The data to be searched for criterion is housed in columns U2:Y60
3. The Numeric Labels to be returned are housed in column T2:T60
4. To search for criterion "~**" (Tilde ** in quotation marks)

Sample Data Layout:
Col"T" Col"U" Col"V" Col"W" Col"X"
Col"Y"
1
2
3 X
4 **
5
6 **
7 * **
8 X
9 **
10 *
11 * *
12 *
13
14 **
15 X


Expected Results:
Numeric Label has criterion asterisk on its row. Return Numeric Labels across
a row :
4 6 7 9 10 11 12 14

Thanks
Sam
