Text Search in an Array
The SEARCH and FIND functions in Excel allow me to find text strings within a
single cell. Is there a function that would allow me to search for a text fragment in an array of cells? The text fragment may be embedded in a longer string (i.e., it would likely not be an exact match), so I dont think that the LOOKUP functions could be employed. -- Jay |
