Alpha conditional statements
That will throw an error if it doesn't find anything, you have to wrap it in
either ISNUMBER or ISERR/ISERROR =IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH("east",A1,1)),A1,"") -- Regards, Peo Sjoblom "Mike H" wrote in message ... Maybe =IF(SEARCH("east",A1,1),A1,"") Mike "Dick W." wrote: *east does not find Northeast in the following formula:- =if(a1="*east",a1,"") What am I doing wrong? Office XP Thanks, Dick W |
