Search a cell for a specific number
Hey there,
I'm trying to do the following: ColB contains either 1,2, or 3 ColC contains a combination of 12,21,23,32,13 or 31 What I'm looking is in ColD, to check the number in B3 and see if it's one of the numbers in C2. So, for example: ColB ColC ColD 1 2 12 3 23 No Match - since 3 (B3) isn't part of 12 (C2), it's a no match 3 23 Match - since 3 (B4) is a part of 23 (C3), it's a match 1 13 2 12 Thanks! Matt |

Try this entered in D3:
=IF(COUNT(FIND(B3,C2)),"match","no match") Copy down as needed -- Biff Microsoft Excel MVP "mpenkala" wrote in message ...
