What are you trying to do? Are you trying to determine if a1 and b1
are equal? Is this user input?

Hi,
XL2003.
Is it possible to use wildcards in simple logic statements?
If A1 contains "qwerty" and B1 contains "qw"
In C1 I've tried:
=A1=B1* * *- xl complained
=A1=B1&* * * *-xl complained
=A1=B1&"*" * *- returned FALSE
