Copying info from two cells so that it is searchable later
I am trying to combine data from two cells, separated by a hypen (-) and
ending with -10-8. The resulting answer in the final cell would look like this 2-3-10-8. The 2 and the 3 are in separate columns so I created a formula that looks like this =(C81&"-"&D81&"-10-8"). It works like a charm except when I search for the data in the new cell (for instance 2-3-10-8), it does not recognize the 2-3-10-8 in the new cell so it says it can not find it. Is there a command that will convert the contents of the new cell into a format that can be read by the search tool??? Thank you. |

Click on Options In the Look-in drop-down choose Formulas Excel will search in Formulas also...
