Using "*" and "#" in If statements
I am trying to write an if statement to return a TRUE for any cell with a
string of text starting with "B". Was thinking something like if(B2="B"&***,B2,"") but I don't know the proper syntax for the B***. Any thoughts are appreciated. Thanks |

Using "*" and "#" in If statements
=if(left(b2,1)="b","starts with B","doesn't start with B")
or =if(countif(b2,"B*")0,"starts with b","doesn't start with b") Eric wrote: I am trying to write an if statement to return a TRUE for any cell with a string of text starting with "B".
