I have tried several ways to identify a rows in a column with the first three
characters are the same "BSB". The data reads in the column like:
ColA
row 5 - BSB12345
row 6 - John Doe
row 7 - date
row 8 - blank
row 9 - blank
row 10 - BSB78945
row 11 - Jane Doe
row 12 - date
row 13 - blank
row 14 - blank
so forth - I need to identify only the rows that start with BSB with a
"Yes", "No" . I have tried:
=SEARCH("BSB*", A5,1) (this does not fill the other rows).
=IF(ISTEXT(SEARCH("BSB*",A5)),1,0) (this did not work)
=IF(ISTEXT(A5)="BSB*",1,0) (this did not work either)

Thank you for any help you can provide.
