Excel Search function
I have a text string that I want to search to find a particular sub-string
and I am using the SEARCH function. If the result fails to find it, the result is the #VALUE!. Is there a way to display a zero (0) instead - I would like to manipulate the result. Thanks. -- David |

Excel Search function
For clarity
to show a zero it would be modified to =IF(ISERR(SEARCH("ccc",G8)),0,SEARCH("ccc",G8)) -- Regards, Tom Ogilvy "Don Guillett" wrote in message ... use isserr =IF(ISERR(SEARCH("ccc",G8)),"",SEARCH("ccc",G8)) -- Don Guillett SalesAid Software "dm2504" wrote in message ...
