Modify search function
 

Hi,

I have following formula that needs to be modified.

=IF(ISERROR(SEARCH("BOFA",V98)),"0",MID(V98,SEARCH ("- ",V98)+1,99)+0)

Seconf search criteria which is "- " can be either "- " or "for". How can i
incorporate the second criteria as "for"?

Thanks,
Dinesh

Actually I want to modify the whole text search as following. Disregard the
earlier question.
Below is a text string. I want to extract the $ value from it. Text string
must have €œBOFA€� name on it.
Here its get complicated. Precedent to a $ value, there are different type
of text string. In the example below is €œ- €�, in addition to that some time
it can be €œInc€� and €œfor €œas well.
Here is my formula which has a €œ- €œtext string and works perfectly. Also
can you explain the function of +1, 99)+0) in the formula.
=IF(ISERROR(SEARCH("BOFA",D1)),"0",MID(D1,SEARCH("- ",D1)+1,99)+0)

Text string

Hi,

Use this formula

=IF(ISERROR(MID(C18,SEARCH({"-","inc","for"},C18,SEARCH("BOFA",C18,1))+1,50)*1), "",MID(C18,SEARCH({"-","inc","for"},C18,SEARCH("BOFA",C18,1))+1,50) *1)
