OK so I want to use the SEARCH function but to look for the contents of one
cell in another. Example |A|B|C| 1|orange|an orange|(my formula) 2|apple|an orange|(my formula) 3|pear|a pear|(my formula) So I want to put a formula in C1 that searches B1 for any occurance of the text that appears in A1 and return the position (like CHARINDEX in SQL) So |A|B|C| 1|orange|an orange|3 2|apple|an orange|#VALUE 3|pear|pear|1 I can't 'hardcode' my search value as it's changing each row. Whats the secret? |
