Identify if Text is in that row and return True or False
I have a worksheet that has several columns and I want a formula to identify
that row as true or false if it contains the following text: PAINM I want to put this formula at the end of the row and just have it state True if it is in that row or False if it is not. Thanks Karen |

Let's assume the row is from column A to column L.

Identify if Text is in that row and return True or False
I tried this and the first one that was suggested and it doesn't work. I
have a cell that has several other words in it including the PAINM would this be the issue because it doesn't have just PAINM?

Hi,
Try something like this =SUMPRODUCT(--ISNUMBER(SEARCH("PAINM",A1:G1))) If this helps, please click the Yes button Cheers, Shane Devenshire "klmiura" wrote: I tried this and the first one that was suggested and it doesn't work.

Hi,
I should add that my last solution is not case sensitive, for that use FIND instead of SEARCH.

would this be the issue because it doesn't have just PAINM?
Yes! Try this: =COUNTIF(A1:L1,"*PAINM*")0 -- Biff Microsoft Excel MVP "klmiura" wrote in message ... I tried this and the first one that was suggested and it doesn't work.
