if cell CONTAINS xyz, then abc
I have a column that contains many values in text. I am searching this
column to see if it contains the partial text "Clinic". For example, three cells could contain: Physician, Administrator Clinical Professional-Super Office Staff-Clinical I want to state, =if(cell B2 CONTAINS "*clin*", then "yes", else "") This would give me a "yes" on the second two cells, but not the first. How can I select just a few letters within a column to search on? I've tried *Clin* and I get the else answer. Thank-you for any help with this problem. |
