Default Find Text (Lower or Upper Case)

Hi,
Hopefully a quick query. I've got the following formula to check that
we've received approval within a field in excel. I just need to amend
it to allow for either upper or lowercase use of the phrase "DA".

=IF(ISERROR(FIND("DA",(VLOOKUP(Report!$B16,Data!Op enRecordsezBuy,
14,FALSE)))),"X","Y")

So need it to either find "DA", or to find "da". If either of these
exist show Y, else X.

Any help appreciated. Thanks, Al.

Hi,

use SEARCH which isn't case sensitive instead of FIND
