You are using the wrong function for what you are trying to do. The FIND
function is to find a string within a string, not to search columns.

Excel 2000

The formula =IF((FIND("Overall",B2)),"Y","N") produces a Y if the word

appears. I've tried "", false and leaving it out - but the #VALUE!
always
appears.

Any ideas?
