I have a Little League schedule with 129 rows that looks like this:
A B C D E 1 9/8 Braves Orioles vs Nationals 2 9/9 Pirates Red Sox vs Braves Orioles 3 9/10 Muckdogs vs Orioles Red Sox I want to enter a formula in Column E that tells Excel to check cells b1:d1 in each row and if any cell contains the name orioles, regardless of whether it's alone or as part of a match-up, then the text "baseball today" should appear in the corresponding row in Column E. I'd use this formula in column E for each row of my spreadsheet. I tried using the formula =if(ISNUMBER(SEARCH("*orioles*", b1:d1)), "baseball today","") and Ctrl+Shift+Ent but it doesn't work. If I change the formula so that instead of an array, it references the specific cell that contains the word orioles, for example instead of using b1:d1 just using d1, the formula works. Can anyone help me? |
