How do I identify cells that contain part of phrase?
I want to do a search where I can look up the "street name" out of an address
column. For example, where it says 1708 Augusta Rd, I want to search for all address on "Augusta" (in case it's Street instead of Road). Does anyone know how to do this? |

If your data is set up as a table you can use the DATA/AUTOFILTER from the
menu and this run a custom query in the address column using the 'contains' operator. -- Kevin Backmann "T Perry" wrote: I want to do a search where I can look up the "street name" out of an address column.

You could have a helper column with -
=IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH("Augusta",A1)),1,0) This will return 1 in any row with the target text. Regards. Bill Ridgeway Computer Solutions "T Perry" wrote in message ...
