Specifically, what happened when you used Edit - Find? Exactly what did you
do when you used Edit - Find? Otto "jan" wrote in message ...

=(IF(D2="30000104";0;IF(ISERROR(FIND("TRAVEL";F2;1 ));0;IF(ISERROR(FIND("NON
APPROVED";F2;1));0;H2/520)))) F2 contains the text, if it either contains "travel" or "non approved" the output should be 0 if not the result must be H2/520 "Otto Moehrbach" wrote: Specifically, what happened when you used Edit - Find?

You are posting in programming group.
Do you want to use VBA to find the string? And what will you do with the result when you have found the string? Do you want to replace with another? Highlight the cell? Highlight the string within the sentence? Without programming.............................. EditFindWhat: not approved Make sure you don't have "match entire cell contents" enabled.

Jan,
You aren't being really clear about what you want. The finds the position of the first letter of the string in the sentence in a1 =SEARCH("non approved",A1) Having found that what do you want to do?

your right.
=(IF(D2="30000104";0;IF(ISERROR(FIND("TRAVEL";F2;1 ));0;IF(ISERROR(FIND("NON APPROVED";F2;1));0;H2/520)))) F2 contains the text, if it either contains "travel" or "non approved" the output should be 0 if not the result must be H2/520 hope this helps "Mike H" wrote: Jan, You aren't being really clear about what you want.

Here is another way for you to try...
=IF(D2="30000104",0,IF(COUNTIF(F2,"*travel*")+COUN TIF(F2,"*non approved*")0,0,H2/520)) -- Rick (MVP - Excel) "jan" wrote in message ... your right. =(IF(D2="30000104";0;IF(ISERROR(FIND("TRAVEL";F2;1 ));0;IF(ISERROR(FIND("NON APPROVED";F2;1));0;H2/520)))) F2 contains the text, if it either contains "travel" or "non approved" the output should be 0 if not the result must be H2/520 hope this helps "Mike H" wrote: Jan, You aren't being really clear about what you want.
