Excel Macro Using "Like" comparison
I have found it convenient to use a macro code such as - If Cells(x, 3) Like
SS = True Then Check = "True"- where SS is - SS = Range("E12") & "*". I find that this comparison is case sensitive, which is inconvenient for my purposes. Is there a way of making this process insensitive to case with this macro code or some other code? Jim Walsh |

Make the comparison in the same case like this:

You can also use the "Option Compare" statement at the top of the module
