How can I search for more than one text character in a cell?
I have a column with different names in one row. And one cell where it could
be that one of the names of the column can be shown. My goal is to find a way how to search for this one word in the cell... I've tried... but I got an error and I don't know which one! e.g.: MATCH(TRUE,ISNUMBER(SEARCH("*"&J5&"*","*"&Specs!$S 2:$S14&"*")),0)) I really do appreciate any help and thank in advance! |

=MATCH(TRUE,ISNUMBER(SEARCH(J58,Specs!$S2:$S14)),0 )
array entered with ctrl + shift & enter however you can use countif =COUNTIF(Specs!$S2:$S14,"**&J58&"*")0 regards, Peo Sjoblom "Dolores" wrote: I have a column with different names in one row.
