I don't think I can do it using "standard" Excel functions. but I threw together this function:
Option Explicit Public Function Find_Str(Search_Text, Data_Array As Range) Dim Data, fflag fflag = False For Each Data In Data_Array If (UCase(Data.Value) = UCase(Search_Text)) Then fflag = True Find_Str = Data.Address Exit For End If Next Data If Not fflag Then Find_Str = "Not Found" End Function if you put it in a VBA module, you can then use it like: =Find_str(A1,Sheet1!A1:C6) Paul ________________________________ From: Joao <jcasque...@netcabo.pt> To: MS EXCEL AND VBA MACROS <excel-macros@googlegroups.com> Sent: Monday, October 12, 2009 7:23:45 AM Subject: $$Excel-Macros$$ Finding a word within a range Hi, I have a rectangular range of cells, each one with one word. I have several rows with words and I would like to find if these words match one of the words in the range, and if positive, in which cell of the range. How can I accomplish this ? (if only with functions the better) Thanks/Brgds João --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Some important links for excel users: 1.
