Find text in specific cell??
Hi,
I'm trying to write some code to determine if a specific cell contains some text and if the booleen statement is true run the function. I see the psuedo code something like below but are unsure of the syntax. The Cell(4,9) actually contains the text "The Street is ..." if Cell(4, 9) Contains "Street" then 'execute functions' End if Thanks Dewey |
