text fragment comparison
i must count similar pathways, but to a limited extent:
eg: column: RIOASSUDroit Ã* partir de 2010 RIOASSUDroit avant 2010 RIOASSUDroit avant 2010Montant minimum RIOASSUDroit avant 2010Montant minimumRégime général RIOASSUDroit avant 2010Montant minimumRégime indépendant The structure of the text is always the same; i always compare the cell below to the direct cell above. The 'cut of' lies on the 4th "" So: if the texte before the 4th "" is the same: true (0) if the texte before the 4th "" is differente: false (1) Objectif: to count the number of different publications, detected by pathway indications. in the example: row 2 is different from row 1 -- false = 1 row 3 is similar to row 2 -- true =0 Anybody who knows how to compare fragments of texte? Thanks a lot, ChrisM |

Hi,
You say the cutoff is the 4th but rows1 & 2 don't have one so we can't use that. Can we rely on 2010 (presumably the year) being there?

Thanks a lot, ChrisM If your data starts in A1, try: B2: =1-(LEFT(A2,FIND(CHAR(1),SUBSTITUTE(A2&"","",CHA R(1),4))-1)= LEFT(A1,FIND(CHAR(1),SUBSTITUTE(A1&"","",CHAR (1),4))-1)) and fill down as far as required. --ron |
