Operator Question
Hi,
Lets say I have a column that has a list of customers, in this case, Dillards. However, it is spelled different throughout the column. For instance, Dillards, Dillards Store, Dillards Inc., Dillards DC, Dillard Stores. If I insert a conditional statment that is = Dillards it will not give me all of Dillards. Is there some kind of forumula or operator that I can use that will search throughout the column for "Dill", simply the first three letters of Dillards. Thanks. |

Operator Question
The formula
=IF(LEFT(A2,4)="Dill","contains Dillards","doesn't contain Dillards") will catch all of the cases you mention.
