Searching for the presence of specific words
I am creating an automatic college degree check worksheet. One tab has a list
of courses in each quarter and another tab has a list of required classes for graduation. I would like to setup a formula that would find if "Organic Chemistry B" is present in the classes tab and return a value that I could use conditional formatting on. I have tried using SEARCH and FIND, but I have not been sucessful. I understand the conditional formatting part of the problem, but I do not understand how to create a search function that will return some sort of number. Any ideas? Thanks! - Ryan |
