I have a list of codes that look like this:
cjm-dtm_6a184 342_cjm-fmu323_engine etc. I would like a simple formula that would check to see if a string, in this case "cjm-" exists in the code. Fairly easy to do using the "find" function, but I'm running into the following problem: My list of strings-to-look-for has grown such that I am unable to nest enough "IF" statements within the function to check for all of them. Does anybody know of the best way to write a macro that would check if a cell value includes values from a range? Ideally the output would be the first string found from the left side of the code. Thanks |
