Find a value
Hi, I am using Excel 2002 and I am looking for a certain value in a column that has a dash (-) in it for example AB97896-1. I want to copy only the cell that contains this dash and copy it to another column. I tired using "If(A1="*-*), A1, " ")" in column B1 but I get no results. Any tips will be appreciated. Thank you. |
