USE A WILDCARD CHARACTER IN A FORMULA
i have part #s that begin with "E" that will get a certain bonus, all the
rest get a different bonus. I cant get a wildcard to work in my formula example: if(A2="E*", 0,(B2*1)), even if A2 = EF1000 (which is a part #) the formula returns false and multiplies B2 by 1 instead of returning a zero |
