Can you use multiple SEARCH functions in one cell
Hi,
I'm trying to write a complicated equation and I need it to search 2 different cells for the word "Sunday". I'm trying to put both in an IF equation, but they won't both work properly. Here's my example: =IF(SEARCH("SUNDAY",D28),"",IF(SEARCH("SUNDAY",D25 ),Z23+1,"")) In the above equation, the first function works and leaves the cell blank, but if the search for "Sunday" is FALSE it returns a #Value! error. ....any ideas? |

Try this:

SEARCH returns an error, not TRUE or FALSE, if the searched for text is not
found. Rick "Soulscream" wrote in message ... Hey, it worked! Thanks. Can you tell me why it won't work without the ISNUMBER function out of curiosity?
