------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fri Dec 15 15:06:41 -0800 2006 ------- Allow me to propose a workaround using a name reference(Ctrl+F3) shSep =MID(ADDRESS(1;1;1;"Foo");4;1) =INDIRECT("xxxx"&shSep&"a1") Now your formula works in both applications. Same is possible with pattern matching: anyChar =IF(shSep=".";".*";"*") =FIND("F"&anyChar;A1) Notice that regular expressions are turned off when you open xls.
