Formula For Finding a Quotation Mark In a String
I have a bunch of part numbers in Col. A formatted as Text.
Some of these part numbers include a quotation mark (") to signify diameter in inches. For instance: 1411-04-RD 1/4" Red Nylon Tubing What I want to do is write a formula that locates all those parts that have the quotation mark in their string. So, I wrote the following (which obviously does not work!!): =if(find("""",a2), do something, do something else) I think that my problem is the triple quotation marks in the formula, but I don't know how to get around it. Thanks for your suggestions. -- tb |
