Test if a cell contains 1 text string |
| You can check if a cell contains a particular text string by combining the ISNUMBER and SEARCH functions. |
|
| The SEARCH function is not case sensitive. You can replace the SEARCH function with the FIND function if you want a case sensitive search. 1 - Does the substring "tt" exist in the string "better". 2 - Does the substring with wildcard characters "t?e" exist in the string "better". 3 - Does the substring "TT" exist in the string "better". 4 - Does the substring "TT" exist in the string "better". FIND ISNUMBER ISTEXT SEARCH User Defined - CONTAINS |
Test if a cell contains 2 text strings |
| You can check if a cell contains two particular text strings by combining the SUM function with the ISNUMBER and SEARCH functions. |
|
| The SEARCH function is not case sensitive. You can replace the SEARCH function with the FIND function if you want a case sensitive search. The array could be replaced with a named range. The double unary operator (--) is used to transform True and False values into there corresponding 1 and 0 equivalents. 1 - Do the substrings "be" and "so" exist in the string "bettersolutions". 2 - Before Excel 2021 arrays could not be handled natively.
