looking for a function
Is there a function (or an addin with this function) that just defines wethera character is present in a string or not ?
("Find" gives an error-string if the character is not present). Thanks, Gilbert |

=isnumber(find(...))
will return true/false if the string is found. Gilbert De Ceulaer wrote: Is there a function (or an addin with this function) that just defines wethera character is present in a string or not ? ("Find" gives an error-string if the character is not present). Thanks, Gilbert -- Dave Peterson |

Hi Gilbert,
What do you want returned if a string is not present? Try something like =IF(ISERROR(FIND("a",A1)),"NotFound",FIND("a",A1)) -- Kind regards, Niek Otten Microsoft MVP - Excel "Gilbert De Ceulaer" wrote in message ... Is there a function (or an addin with this function) that just defines wethera character is present in a string or not ? ("Find" gives an error-string if the character is not present). Thanks, Gilbert |

Thanks, Gilbert You can simply test for the error: For example: =if(iserr(find(...),"Not Prsent","Present") --ron |

Sorry, typo
Missing set of quotes =IF(ISNUMBER(FIND(your find formula)),"do 1","do 2") Replace Do 1 and Do 2 with whatever you want depending on the outcome of the test. -- Regards Roger Govier "Roger Govier" <roger@technology4unospamdotcodotuk wrote in message ...
