Wildcard Character in IF formulas
Is it possible to use wildcard characters in an IF formula? I tried
=IF(OR(H8="E*",H8="R*")=TRUE,AA12,0) but this did not work. Any help would be appreciated Thanks! |

you can use this as your conditional test
OR(COUNTIF(G46,"*A*"),COUNTIF(G46,"*A*")) COUNTIF and SUMIF support wildcards -- Tips for Excel, Word, PowerPoint and Other Applications http://www.kan.org/tips "lightbulb" wrote: Is it possible to use wildcard characters in an IF formula?
