Identify if a cell contains a numerical string
Have a long list of identifiers:
E6A3289A F9DB1200G5W KRQ7356VQ G1200GUWY87 In a helper column, we need to identify (true or false is ok) if the value in the first column contains the string 1200. It may appear anywhere in the cell value; it is not consistently found after or before a given number of other characters within that cell. Extra points if it can be done within the result fields in a pivot table. (IOW, filter for the 1200 on the drag and drop page.) Ideas? Pierre |

Pierre You could try the FIND function: =IF(ISERROR(FIND("1200",E14)),"","Found") |

Assuming data is in A1:An =COUNTIF(A1,"*1200*")0 It may appear anywhere in the cell value; it is not consistently found after or before a given number of other characters within that cell. --ron |
