I know that the term If(A1=*honda*,"IS THERE","NOT THERE") searches for the
word..."honda" anywhere within the text, etc., etc. I was explained this yesterday... HOWEVER, WHERE IN THE HELP MENU CAN I FIND THE EXPLANATION OF THIS?? Thanks, FLKulchar |

"Wildcard characters" - search for this term and it provides the explanation

I would test that formula once more.
Maybe you meant: =if(countif(a1,"*honda*")0,"is there","not there") F.

Why must you use the COUNTIF function?
Why NOT...=IF(A1="*honda*","there","not there") Thanks, FLKulchar "Dave Peterson" wrote: I would test that formula once more. Maybe you meant: =if(countif(a1,"*honda*")0,"is there","not there") F.

You don't _have_ to.
But it's one way of determining if honda is in A1 (even if it's surrounded by other characters). You could also use: =if(isnumber(search("honda",a1)),"there","not there") Change "search" to "find" if case is important. But wildcards won't work in this: =If(A1="*honda*", .... F.

I would imagine that the developers didn't want it to.
