![]() I have a user that is trying to find whether a cell contains a certain string (example, 2110) and then evaluate whether it does or not on a True/False basis. This is the formula he is trying to use: =IF(FIND("1220",B1),TRUE,FALSE) The problem arises when the FIND function does not find that value. It returns a #VALUE error, which is unable to be evaluated as true or false. Is there a way to do what he'd like to? -- thigley986 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ thigley986's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...o&userid=31967 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=516927 |
