Spelling comparison
Hi everyone - I run a track meet for twelve grade schools. My Excel score
sheet involves recording the winning student's name and school in one section. In another section I compare the school name and award points for that event if there is an exact match. The problem is if I misspell the school name, the sheet fails to award any points. My function used (for example, if the school name is "Hoover") is: "=if (B6="Hoover", 10,0). Is there a way to compare names with a wildcard so that a misspelling doesn't doom my calculation. When typing fast, I might inadvertently type in "Hover" instead of "Hoover." I would like to be able to use a wildcard such as "Ho*" but can't seem to get that to work. Any thoughts? -- Richard M. Perry |
