Like operator as a worksheet-function
Tom,
You can't do it that way. However, you can use the * and ? wildcard characters in a COUNTIF, so try something like =IF(COUNTIF(B1,"??/???"),TRUE,FALSE) -- Cordially, Chip Pearson Microsoft MVP - Excel Pearson Software Consulting, LLC www.cpearson.com "Tom" wrote in message ...

Is it possible to use the Like operator as a worksheet-function? Not unless you wrap it in a UDF. See http://www.google.com/groups?selm=uP...icros oft.com -- Never attach files. Snip unnecessary quoted text. Never multipost (though crossposting is usually OK). Don't change subject lines because it corrupts Google newsgroup archives. |
