Checking for the existence of a characted in a string
Whilst I'm being lazy, what's the best way to check for the existence of a
character (say "-") in a string? My brain's gone to sleep this afternoon - sorry, y'all! Thanks in advance Pete |

say you want to check ; in a cell, following formula will return yes if it finds and no if it did not. =IF(ISERROR(FIND(";",A1)),"not","yes") -- starguy ------------------------------------------------------------------------ starguy's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...o&userid=32434 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=553633 |
