HOW TO INSERT A * BEFORE AND AFTER EACH WORD
If you have a phrase like:
the cat sat on the mat in A1, and this formula in B1: ="*"&SUBSTITUTE(A1," ","* *")&"*" then you will end up with: *the* *cat* *sat* *on* *the* *mat* Is that what you want? You can copy the formula down if you have other phrases in column A. With only a single word in A1, like "test", the formula will give you "*test*" (without the quotes). Hope this helps.

HOW TO INSERT A * BEFORE AND AFTER EACH WORD
Hi,
If each word is in its own cell you could use ="*"&A1&"*" Or if you want to loose the spaces between word in a multi-word cell ="*"&SUBSTITUTE(A9," ","*")&"*" -- Thanks, Shane Devenshire "Brianna" wrote: I need to add a * before and after each word. Can anyone help me in doing this? Thank you! |
