How Do I Find Different Values In A String?
I have some part numbers in a string format in column A.
I want to know which ones include the sub-strings "VI", "EP", "PAR", "BU". Luckily, only one of these four values can be in each part number. There are no instances where a part number has two, three, or all four of the above sub-strings. So I wrote the following formula: =find(or("VI","EP","PAR"),a2) ....but it does not work! What do I need to do to make it work? -- tb |
