Some example idioms... =ISNUMBER(SEARCH(" "&E2&" "," "&A2&" "))+0 =ISNUMBER(FIND(" "&E2&" "," "&A2&" "))+0 =COUNTIF(A2,"*"&E2&"*") Custom format the formula cell as: [=0]"N";[=1]"Y" |
Hi,
Try these: case sensitive =IF(ISERROR(FIND("YourString",A1)),"No","Yes") =IF(SUBSTITUTE(A1,"YourString","")=A1,"No","Yes") not case sensitive: =IF(COUNTIF(A1,"*YourString*"),"Yes","No") =IF(ISERROR(SEARCH("YourString",A1)),"No","Yes") Regards, KL "Vstein" wrote in message ...
