Wildcard string
Can I use vlookup to find a wildcard text string ie =vlookup(*a2*,data_range,2,false) If not vlookup, is there an alternative?

Wildcard string
You ned to concatenate your *s to the cell reference. Your formula would be: =vlookup("*"& A2 & "*", data_range,2,false) -- mdbct ------------------------------------------------------------------------ mdbct's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...o&userid=28733 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=487236 |
