do formulas have to be case sensative when searching words
I am trying to use a formaul which looks at the contents of a cell, however,
is it possible to construct a formula which is not case sensative? E.g. does A1 contain "dog" - I want true if contains "DOG", "Dog" or "dog" |

There is a simple way to answer this ... try it!
It is not case sensitive in a straight comparison, there is an EXACT function to achieve that. -- HTH Bob (there's no email, no snail mail, but somewhere should be gmail in my addy) "elaine" wrote in message ...
