Hi Marcelo,

I just assumed that the OP would want to take some action based upon the
test, not that he just wanted True/False.

hi Bob,

just to clarify my mind and learn more with you.

why did you use IF(isnumber....instead of isnumber?

I am using excel 2002. I want a cell to use conditional formating,
whereby say IF CELL A1 CONTAINS "ORDER" THEN A2 WILL TURN A SPECIFIC
COLOR.

I can easily figure this out if A1 EQUALS "ORDER", but can't figure
out
the operator or trick for CONTAINS ...

I've tried =A1="*ORDER*" but it doesn't work . . .

Can anyone help me?
