SEARCH function returning #VALUE! error
I'm trying to use an IF statement with my SEARCH function so that if a "-" is
found I will do one thing but if it is not found it will do something else. However, the statement bombs when there is no "-" found. It returns the #VALUE! and it no longer evaluates my IF expression. It just stops and returns the error value instead of giving it the value I put in the IF statement for false. Anyone know how to get around that? my test statement looks like this: =IF(SEARCH("-",B178) 0, "True", "FALSE") |
SEARCH function returning #VALUE! error
=IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH("-",B178)), "True", "FALSE")
or if you want a logical rather than text =ISNUMBER(SEARCH("-",B178)) -- David Biddulph jhchan wrote: I'm trying to use an IF statement with my SEARCH function so that if a "-" is found I will do one thing but if it is not found it will do something else.
